• Give your pet access to plenty of fresh, cool water at all times. Add ice cubes to their water bowl to help keep it extra cool.
• Make sure your pet has a shady spot to retreat to when they need a break from the heat. Put up a canopy or umbrella in your yard, or create a makeshift “pet tent” inside using a sheet or towel.
• Apply pet-safe sunscreen to your animal’s exposed skin, like their nose and ears, to prevent sunburn.
• Take your pet for a swim! If your dog loves the water, take them for a dip in a lake, pool, or even the sprinkler. Just be sure to supervise them at all times to avoid any accidents.
• Give your pet a cooling treat. You can make your own frozen dog treats by freezing peanut butter or yogurt in an ice cube tray. Or, buy some commercially-made frozen pet treats from the store.
