With temps hovering in the nineties this week in the northeast everyone here is a little cranky! Going for a walk is either an early morning event or late evening. Certainly the beginning of the dog days of summer!
I am always amazed to see people walking their dogs in the middle of the afternoon. Don't they realize the risk of heat stroke is likely! Can you imagine not being able to sweat plus wearing a fur coat in this heat! I am sure most of my readers out there are aware of this but there will always be folks that are clearly ignorant of the fact that you should keep your dogs inside with the A/C and plenty of room temp water available during the midday heat!
A plastic kiddie pool may be a good idea for some pooches to splash around in. Or a cooling mat may offer some comfort to a dog that's experiencing some over heating. Or just having a fan next to their crate or bed.
I found a cool idea for a frozen dog treat. It consists of one cup of frozen Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1 ripe banana. Mush it up in a bowl or blender and put it into ice cube trays to freeze. Taste so good I would eat it!
