Keep Your Pup Cool, Safe & Happy This Summer

Summer is a time for sunshine, fun, and outdoor adventures—but for dogs, extreme heat can be dangerous. As temperatures rise, it's important to take extra precautions to keep your pup safe from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

At Patty’s Pet Foods, we’re passionate about pet wellness. That’s why we’re sharing 5 simple, vet-approved ways to protect your dog from the summer heat.

1. Walk During Cooler Hours
Avoid walking your dog in the middle of the day when the sun is hottest. Instead, schedule walks early in the morning or later in the evening.

🚫 Hot pavement can burn paw pads—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
✅ Try grassy parks, shady trails, or protective booties for extra safety.

2. Prioritize Hydration
Fresh, cool water should always be available—at home and on the go. Dogs can quickly become dehydrated in the heat.

💡 Pro tip: Add ice cubes or freeze dog-safe broth into pupsicles for a refreshing treat.

3. Never Leave Your Dog in a Parked Car
Even with windows cracked, a parked car can heat up fast. Within just 10 minutes, the interior temperature can rise dangerously high—even on mild days.

🐾 When running errands, it’s safer to leave your pup at home.

4. Use Shade & Cooling Products
Create shaded areas in your yard or patio, and consider cooling mats, fans, or even a dog-safe kiddie pool.

5. Know the Signs of Heat Stroke
Watch closely for symptoms like:

• Excessive panting or drooling
• Weakness or lethargy
• Vomiting or collapse

If you notice any of these, move your dog to a cool place and contact your vet immediately.
