Here are ten ideas to keep your pet cool in the summer.

Summer is a time of year that can be especially difficult for our pets due to the high temperatures. Here are some ideas to help your furry friend stay cool and comfortable:

• 1. Constant Hydration

This is perhaps the most important thing. Make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water at all times. You can add ice cubes to their water to keep it colder for longer.

• 2. Refreshing baths

A warm (never cold) bath can be a great way to cool your pet down. Be sure to dry them well afterward to avoid catching a cold.

• 3. Frozen Toys

Put some of their favorite toys in the freezer and give them to play with. This will not only keep them entertained but also help them cool down.

• 4. Walks in Cool Hours

Avoid taking your pet for walks during the hottest hours of the day. Early morning or late evening walks are better options to avoid excessive heat.

• 5. Shadow Areas

Make sure your pet has access to shaded areas where it can rest. If you're outdoors, bring an umbrella or tent to provide additional shade.

• 6. Cooling Carpets

There are special cooling mats that are ideal for your pet to lie on. These mats can be a great addition to your home during the summer.

• 7. Fans and Air Conditioning

If possible, keep a fan or air conditioning on to create a cooler environment at home. However, make sure your pet doesn't stay directly in the air to avoid respiratory problems. Just as air conditioning can harm you, it can also harm your furry friend.

• 8. Fresh food

Offer fresh, moist foods instead of dry ones. You can make homemade ice cream with pet-friendly fruits and vegetables, such as banana and carrot. Or even make it with wet foods, such as canned dog food or canned cat food; or even with our snack bars, which you can cut into pieces and put in the freezer.

• 9. Avoid Hot Asphalt

Asphalt can burn your pet's paws on hot days. Try walking on grass or dirt, and if walking on asphalt is necessary, consider using paw protectors.

• 10. Veterinary Checkups

Visit your veterinarian for a general checkup and specific recommendations for your pet during the warmer months.

Above all, pay close attention to signs of overheating in your pet, such as excessive panting, weakness, vomiting, or collapse, and act quickly if you notice them. Take care of your furry friend and enjoy the summer together!

I hope these ideas are helpful for you and your pet. Happy summer!
