In the hottest months of the year, it's important to not forget our furry friends, especially if we humans are sitting in a comfortably air conditioned home or office all day. Your dog might be nice and comfortable inside as well, but a lot of dogs are outside more than in. Ensuring she doesn't overheat is important for the active, outdoor canine.
Fresh Water and Shade
These are the two most important things a dog who spends any amount of time outside needs. Dogs dehydrate very quickly in the summer sun, so be sure to refill a large water dish often throughout the day. Even if your yard is well-shaded naturally, you will still need to erect some sort of shelter from the heat. Choose a spot that in the shade, or in an area that isn't under direct sunlight. Make sure it is large enough for air to pass freely through it.
