Get a paddling pool. Invest in a solid paddling pool that’s made out of a durable material less likely to be punctured by your dog’s claws. Pop it in a shady spot in the garden and fill it with cool water. Make sure not to use icy or freezing water – if it’s too cold it can make them go into shock when the temperature changes too suddenly from very hot to very cold. If your dog’s not much of a water baby, a great way to keep your dog cool is to encourage them to stand in the water. Even if they only stand in it for a short time, it can work wonders with cooling down their body temperature as they can absorb and release heat through their paws. Offer ice treats, some owners pop ice cubes in their pet’s bowl to keep their water cool – but you should keep an eye as they can be a choking hazard. You can even purchase ice lollies specially for dogs which can make a tasty snack. Mist your dog. Flick some cool water on your pet instead, to help them cool down.

To help keep your dog cool, paddling pools can be used as dogs absorb and release heat through their paws. On a hot day your dog will appreciate a pool to dip his or her paws into. We advise you to use cool water not, not freezing water and some dogs may need a little more encouragement than others. You can also use a cool towel by wetting it with cool water and patting the coat, this helps to lower your dogs body temperature. A spray water bottle filled with cool water and sprayed throughout the day will help reduce their body temperature. Additionally, a cooling mat is great in order to lower your dogs temperature, as it absorbs heat from the dogs body and releases it into the environment. It is vital that owners ensure their dog has access to water and cool shaded areas to rest at all times. Be sure to replenish their water and try to set it in shaded areas. Always carry water with you when you leave the house with your dog.
