Already this summer in Wisconsin it is HUMID and I can’t stand it. I feel so bad for our old little fur ball, Lulu! The kids and I were with Lulu outside this weekend trying to enjoy the weather but unfortunately, Lulu looked sad and miserable. Seeing her so uncomfortable got me wondering about what I could do to help her out with the heat. I read a few articles and googled a few things and I learned a lot!
Did you know that early signs of heat stroke in your dog are weakness, confusion, excess panting, increased salivation, dark red gums, and seizures? Scary! So, I found a bunch of ways to keep that from happening and to keep Lulu cool.
- Keep your dog well hydrated with fresh, cool, water
- Keeping your dog in a well ventilated, shaded area or shelter
- Give your dog their own little tub or share kids pool of water to sit or play in (See a Dog Pool Party Here)
- Make your own frozen dog treats(Recipe Here)
- Limit your dog’s activity on very hot and humid days or play on the grass rather than asphalt
