The hot sun can cause problems for our furry friends, so how do we best care for them when the hot temperatures hit? In this blog post, you'll find 5 tips to help your dog in the heat.
1. Plenty of water
It cannot be said enough how important water is for dogs in the heat. That is why it is important that you always bring fresh drinking water with you on your walks. Feel free to bring extra water with you on your walks so that you can also pour it over your dog if it gets too hot. If your dog does not want to drink, you can try putting treats in the water bowl to make sure it drinks.
Pro tip: Our dog walking bag includes a thermos for the water bottle!
2. Stay in the shade
Make sure there is always room for your dog in the shade, whether you are out walking, on the beach or in the garden. Put up a sunshade or parasol so that the dog always has the opportunity to seek out the shade.
3. Take a dip
If your dog loves the beach, you can take a dip together. Remember that dogs are not allowed on all beaches during the summer and be aware of algae. It is also important to make sure that your dog does not drink too much salt water. You can set up a small pool in the garden, and some dogs have a party with the water hose.

5. Go early in the morning and late at night
It is best to take your longer walks early in the morning or late in the evening, when temperatures are lower. If you are going in the middle of the day, we recommend shorter walks and avoiding asphalt.
Thank you for reading and take care of the dogs in heat.
A few last extra tips :
- If your dog gets too hot, you can give him a wet towel and dip his paws in water.
- Never leave your dog alone in the car.
- Dogs can also get sunburned. Therefore, avoid direct sunlight in the middle of the day. You may want to give your dog sunscreen on sensitive areas (without perfume).
