Summer Fun with Your Furry Friend: Keep it Cool, Safe and Exciting!

Summer’s here, and it’s the perfect time to get outside with your dog!  Whether it’s a day at the park, a hike in the woods, or a road trip to your favourite dog friendly spot, there’s no shortage of adventures waiting for you and your pup.  But as much as we love the sun, it’s important to keep our dogs safe and comfortable in the heat.  Here’s how to make the most of your summer together while keeping safety in mind.

Dogs can overheat quickly, so make sure to plan activities during the cooler part of the day - early mornings or late evenings are best.  Always bring plenty of water for you and your dog and remember that if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!  Keep an eye out for signs of heatstroke like excessive panting or drooling, and take breaks in the shade.

Road Trippin’ with Your Dog

Road trips are a blast, especially when your best friend is riding shotgun.  But safety first!  Before you hit the road, make sure your dog is secure.  That’s where our Handmade Paracord Car Seatbelt Clip comes in.  This handy clip keeps your dog safely tethered to the seatbelt socket so they can’t roam around the car or worse - distract you while driving.  It’s durable, stylish and a must have for any road trip!

Fun and Games

Summer is all about having fun, and there’s no shortage of activities you can do with your dog.  Try a new trick, play a game of fetch or even set up a mini agility course in the garden!  The key is to keep it light and fun - your dog will love the extra attention and playtime.

So grab your sunglasses, pack some treats and get out there!  Just remember to keep your dog’s safety top of the list and you’ll both have an unforgettable summer.  Happy adventuring from Angela and Jake the Labradoodle!
