Protect your dog from the summer heat

Summer is here and that means outdoor fun..but the heat of the day can be detrimental to your dog's health. Dogs have a higher internal temperature than humans and they can get hot very quickly. Outside activities can be fun to share with your dog; but remember to protect him from the summer heat. If you aren't careful, your dog could suffer from heat exhaustion.
Leave your dog at home, not in the car. More dogs die of heat exhaustion in parked cars than in any other situation.
Exercise in the cooler times of the day. People love running with their dogs and often think that a dog has no problem handling the heat. This is not true. Also avoid hot pavement, which can burn the pads of your dog's paws.
Hydrate your dog. Always carry dog-dedicated water and a foldable water bowl on walks and hikes.
Wrap that dog! Wrapping a cool pad or wet bandana around your dog's neck before heading outside can help her stay cooler and avoid heat exhaustion.
Brushing your dog's coat often can help decrease the risk of heat exhaustion, especially if your dog has a heavy coat.
Keep it cool.  During the hot times of the day, keep your dog in safe, cool environment.  Provide the dog with plenty of water. Make sure there is always a fresh, cool water supply available for your pet at home.
