Summer brings sunny days, longer walks, and plenty of outdoor adventures. But it can also pose a risk to our furry friends if we don’t take precautions. At Chuchos-Chic, we care about your pet’s well-being, so here are five essential tips to help your dog stay cool and happy during the hot days ☀️.

1. 💧 Constant hydration

Make sure your dog has access to fresh water at all times. You can place several bowls around the house and carry a special dog water bottle when you go out. Adding ice cubes to the water can be a fun way to keep it cool.

2. 🕶️ Avoid the hottest hours

Walks should be done early in the morning or at dusk. Hot asphalt can burn their pads, and extreme heat can cause heat stroke. If you can’t avoid going outside, try protective booties and keep walks short.

3. 🧊 Refreshing snacks

Make homemade frozen treats with dog-friendly fruits like watermelon or banana. You can also find special pet ice creams in our store. A delicious way to beat the heat!

4. 🏠 Cool and shaded spaces

Inside your home, make sure there are cool, ventilated areas. If your dog spends time in the yard, create shaded areas with awnings or well-ventilated dog houses. A fan near their bed can also help.

5. ✂️ Take care of your fur

A good haircut can do wonders in the summer, especially for long-haired breeds. At Chuchos-Chic, we offer cuts tailored to each coat type to help your dog stay comfortable without compromising their natural sun protection.

🌿 Remember: Dogs don’t sweat like we do, and their ability to regulate their temperature is limited. If you notice excessive panting, lethargy, or very red gums, see your vet immediately.
