- Leave plenty of fresh drinking water available for your dog and check it often. If you are outside with your dog, bring along a bowl and refresh it throughout the day.
- Never leave your dog in the car in warm temperatures. Cars can heat up very quickly and be a virtual oven for your dog.
- Lawn and garden chemicals can be toxic for dogs. Know what you are using in your dog’s play area. Use organic whenever possible.
- Start slow with your canine athlete. Give them time to warm up, too.
- Give ice cubes or freeze broth for hot day entertainment. Make doggie popsicles!
- As in all seasons: SUPERVISE YOUR DOG OUTSIDE.
