3 Ways to Make Your Pets Cool This Summer

Now that summer is here, so as the long hot summer nights. We may feel uncomfortable with the extreme heat, plus the excessive sweating and all, but we are not the only ones upset of this disadvantage of the season; so as our pets.

There are many ways in which we can provide pets a cooling relief through a warm weather. First is by giving them a cold bath. Dogs love to spend time outside. Running here and then, and playing around, they expose themselves under the sun and also to dirt. Letting the cold water run through their skin will refresh them. You can buy an inflatable pool and set it up on your backyard so that Fido can take a dip. By bathing your dog, you don't only give them a cool feeling, but also a clean feeling. However, it is not advisable to bathe your dog very often for it can lessen the oil in their coat, dry their skin, and cause some irritations.

Another way to help your pet this summer is by getting him to stay inside the house or where there is shade. Summer wind can be hot and damp. If your pet is outside, the wind will surely touch his skin and cause some unpleasant feeling. However, if the pet is covered by shade, the sun will not directly hit his skin and so as the wind. It will also be better if you decide to take your pet inside the house. You may have your electric fan or air conditioner on, and your pet can surely appreciate the cooling effect it can give to his body.

As mentioned earlier, what most people dislike during this season are the hot summer nights because it's hard to sleep. Well, pets find it difficult to rest and sleep too. They can lie on the cold floor, but it may not be enough to ease them of too much heat. But thanks to technology, a solution to this had already been developed. Cooling dog beds provide soothing and cooling relief to lying or sleeping pets. It is not run by electricity that is why owners can have the peace of mind for their dog's safety. All they have to do is add water to the bed which will then be absorbed by the foam core which has cooling capabilities. And voila! The pet can feel cooled and relieved through the night. To assure the dog's comfort, these beds have soft foam to provide cushion during rest or sleep.
