Canine cool

On warm days our canine companions face the same challenges with heat that we do. Dogs are particularly susceptible to heat due to their thick fur coats and limited ability to sweat. Ensuring your dog stays cool and comfortable is crucial for their health and happiness during the hot months. Slickers Doghouse offers a variety of innovative products designed to help your canine companion beat the heat. Take their cooling mats for example, which are available in various sizes dependent on breed. They are one of the simplest and most effective ways to regulate your dog’s temperature, absorbing and dissipating heat from their body.  Cooling coats work in a similar way. Simply soak them in water, wring out and pop on your pup; due to their added UV protection they also have the benefit of protecting your dog from harmful rays. Talking of sun protection, Slickers also stocks dog sunscreen, ideal for areas like the nose, ears and belly, which are more prone to sunburn.

Hydration is super important on hot days. Slickers recommends your dog always has access to fresh water and with their handy range of leak-free portable water bottles and spill-free bowls, you needn’t be weighed down on your walkies. While walking on very hot days is not recommended – pavements and tarmac paths can reach very high temperatures in the sun – a pair of cooling boots could be just what you need to protect your dog’s paws from hot and rough terrain. Visit Slickers Doghouse to explore these fantastic options and to ensure that your dog is the coolest pooch in town!
