Keep Cool & Safe This Summer: Tips for Happy Pets
Summer is here, and you know what that means, beach trips, iced lattes, and ALL the sunny adventures with our four-legged besties! But as temps rise, it’s extra important to make sure your pet stays cool, comfy, and totally safe. Because no one wants a sunburnt pupper or an overheated kitty on their paws.
Here are our favorite tips for keeping your furry friend feeling fresh and fabulous all summer long (with a few style upgrades thrown in, of course).
💧 Hydration Nation
Fresh water = happy, waggy tails. Make sure your pet’s water bowl is always topped off, indoors and outdoors. Pro tip: keep a backup travel water bowl in your tote or car so you’re always ready to hydrate on the go. Think of it as their personal summer mocktail.
😎 Shade is Chic
For our feline friends, keep the blinds partially closed to block that harsh midday sun (cats are basically vampires when it comes to heat). For dogs, plan walks early in the morning or later in the evening when sidewalks are cooler and shade is plentiful. Your dog will thank you with extra pep in their step.
🍦 Cool Treats = Chill Vibes
Ice cubes, frozen bone broth cubes, or pet-safe popsicles? Yes, please! Even cats might enjoy a chilled wet food treat, it’s like a fancy poolside snack for them. Just watch for the inevitable “freeze brain” moment.
🏖️ Summer-Ready Style
Lightweight, jingle-free tags are your pup’s ultimate summer accessory. Perfect for park playdates or snoozing in the backyard hammock. Our tags are designed for collars and harnesses, so your pet stays stylish and comfy all season long.
🐾 Hot Ground = Hot Paws
Sidewalks can heat up faster than a pup can chase a tennis ball. Do the quick hand test: place the back of your hand on the pavement, if it’s too hot for you, it’s definitely too hot for paws. Indoors? Add a cooling mat or fan near their favorite nap spot for extra chill points.
✨ Bonus: Tag, You’re It!
Don’t forget to top off your pet’s summer look with a fresh, fun tag, think bright colors and beachy vibes. Whether they’re splashing in the waves or strutting at the park, a cute tag is the perfect finishing touch (and keeps them safe if they wander).
