Is Your Dog Ready for Summer?
With temperatures climbing and the days lasting longer, we find ourselves spending more time outside. Just as you wouldn’t send your children out to play without protection from the elements, don’t forget your fur babies need protection too. This is really important if they like ours live inside and are not used to the summer temps.
Here is a list of items to make sure your fur baby is protected and will enjoy being outside during the heat wave known as summertime!
The Four Paws Nite Brite Reflecting Leash is great for walking your pet at night. With a reflective Visible from up to 200 feet away, this patented braided leash with sewn in reflective material, reflects when hit with light.
Don’t forget to protect their tender nose with the Snoutstik Nose Balm for Dogs. We know that a dog’s nose more sensitive than ours so protecting it from the sun and elements should be a concern. Snoutstik is a natural sunscreen made from Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil.
I don’t know about yours, but my dog HATES the rain! She will sit with her legs crossed before going out to relive herself. And to be honest, she isn’t thrilled with wearing her raincoat, but it does help when we are going to be out in the rain for a while. I know, strange dog.. I mean.. I love walking in the rain! Besides, isn’t this Rubber Ducky Rain Poncho just too sweet!!
Staying hydrated is just as important for our fur babies as it is for us and finding a safe source of water can be a challenge. Be prepared any where you go with this portable and easy to use Water Dispenser by Good2Go.
Fleas and ticks are a year round concern but more bothersome in the summer months when our pets tend to spend more time outside and often in new areas or around other animals. Protect your fur baby from fleas and ticks with this topical spot on solution from Revolution.
Whether for wading or splashing around, this is a great way to your pet to cool off when the temps climb higher. I like that this formed Bone Paw Shaped Play Pool for Dogs by One Dog One Bone is made from truck liner material. It is sturdy and easy to carry with you so your pet can enjoy it where ever you are spending time.
The Dog Cool Pool is a lined flexible pool made from pvc materials. The flexible sides allow your smaller pets to be able to get in and out easily without damaging or tearing the sides with their nails.

I never thought about a doggie pool but that is such a good idea. I’d love to get that for a pup, it’s a great way to combat the summer heat.
