MT. PLEASANT, Mich - This summer the temperatures have been hot. Staying cool is not only important for you, but for your dog as well. Dogs can suffer heat stroke very quickly. They don’t sweat like humans do, and with a fur coat on all summer long they must find other ways to cool down. At Graff Mt. Pleasant we care about your pets, that is why we put together the top 3 ways to keep your dogs cool this summer season. Below you can find fun DIY ideas for cold activities outside, healthy frozen treats, and specially-made cooling beds. Keeping your dog cool during the summer will not only keep them safe and healthy, but happier in high temperatures.

Ice Block Treats

Your dog will love the taste of an ice cold treat. You can make them with organic ingredients that will make your pup feel special, and you feel better knowing it helps their health.

DIY Cooling Beds

When you leave your dog at home all day, the stuffiness of the indoors can make them very hot. Cooling beds provide a great place to go when the house gets too warm.

 

Dog Pool

Most dogs love the water, especially in the summer time. It’s always a good idea to keep a kiddie pool on hand for when you want to enjoy the summer sun with your pet.
