It’s almost the dog days of summer. For you, that may mean being uncomfortable in hot temperatures, but for your furry pup , it could mean some seriously sweltering moments. Thankfully, there are plenty of products available to let your pooch enjoy their time outdoors without overheating. Take a look at some of these cool finds.
No need to plug in or refrigerate this cooling pet pad . Once your dog steps on it, the pad starts cooling down using a patented, non-toxic gel formula that absorbs body heat and reduces body temperature.
This cooling vest is perfect for long walks or hikes. The light-colored outer layer reflects heat and solar radiation, and provides shade for your pup. You can dip it in water, wring it out, and place it on your dog to activate its full cooling potential.
These collapsible water bowls are the perfect accessory for traveling with your pup, whether you're going on a hike or a road trip. They fold flat to save space, and they even come with a carabiner to attach to a backpack or water bottle. And you can't beat the price!
This cooling collar is basically a bandana that's designed to keep your dog cool. Just soak it in cold water before placing it in the fridge for ten minutes, and then put it around your doggo’s neck.
Throw shade at your dog (in a good way) with this durable and portable outdoor cot with canopy , which comes with a handy carry bag so you can take it everywhere from the beach to the backyard.
This two-in-one water bottle and bowl is a game changer, especially if your pup loves long walks but can't take the summer heat. Although it may look like a normal bottle, the top actually flips up to become a water bowl for your furry friend.
Take a kiddie pool, but make it for your dog. Done. This one folds up and is portable, so you can take it on all doggy vacays to come.
This water bowl will, once activated, keep water cool for up to 15 hours. Simply fill it internally with water, shake to activate the “cool crystals,” then freeze. Done!
If you're worried about dehydration, then make drinking fun for your dog with this paw-activated water fountain ! After you hook the fountain up to your water supply, your pup just has to step on the pedal for a refreshing drink.
If you're looking for a solution to keep your pet cool all night long, then this Sealy orthopedic dog bed will do the trick. This memory foam bed also has cooling gel to keep your pup cool and supported. Bonus: The bed is odor-absorbing and the cover is machine washable!
