This summer, prevent your puppy from over -heating. Provide plenty of shade and fresh water.
Try and avoid metal water bowls as they heat up to quickly.
Ceramic and plastic bowls are a great alternative. If you choose to leave your puppy inside, make sure there are windows open or a fan to circulate the air.
A great idea is to freeze chicken broth or vegetable soup in ice cubes trays and give it to your dog to play with. They love licking and playing with the ice block until it melts.
Paddington Pups also has a range of different toys that are specifically designed to be frozen and a range of cooling neck bandannas also designed to be frozen..
Try not to walk your dog in the middle of the day, like us dogs can get sun stroke and dehydrate very quickly. Plus walking on hot surfaces with bare paws must be tough.
You can also get pet safe sun screens available for purchase at Paddington Pups specifically designed for animals that love lying in the sun or that have very light coats.
For a fun exercise take your pet to a dog friendly beach or local creek so they can have a play in the water and cool down.
