It’s officially summertime and we know you love taking your best furry friend with you everywhere you go. Sometimes those places can get a little too toasty so we put together this list of 11 items to help your pet stay cool during the hottest of months. This list is full of must haves to keep you and your pal going through the summer cool as a cucumber.
Cat and Dog Cooling Mat
This reversible pet mat from Unique Petz from Target will help cool your pet without electricity, can be used indoors or outdoors, folds for easy storage and most importantly keeps your pet cool. Activated by your pet’s weight, it will keep your dog or cat cool for up to three hours. Don’t sleep on this mat (pun intended).
All for Paws Chill Out Ice Bandana
This All for Paws Chill Out Ice Bandana from Amazon is a must have in our house and should be in yours. Heat stroke is one of the biggest threats to dogs during the warmer months and even more so for flat faced, barrel-chested pups like Bulldogs. Due to this we make our French Bulldog don this whenever he decides to take an extended nap on the deck, which is often because he loves the sun. It’s as easy as soaking the bandana in water!
Elevated Dog Cot/Bed
Create an outdoor oasis for your dog with this Sun Squad elevated dog cot/bed from Target. Whether it’s for the backyard, camping or a day at the park give your pooch a place to rest and get some Zs in with a constant flow of air to keep those bits cool.
Chill Out Ice Ball
Keeping your dog cool with this All For Paws Chill Out Ice ball is as simple as filling it with water and throwing it in your freezer for a few hours when you know it’s going to be a hot day. We like to throw ours in the doggy pool for our French Bulldog to “bob” for it. Fun for the whole family.
Cooling Bed for Indoors
On days when even your AC isn’t colling things down your indoor kitty will thank you immensely for this Jiupety cooling bed for cats. Best of all, no ice or freezing of any kind is required.
Cooling Dog Vest
One of the easiest ways to cool your pet down quickly is a cooling vest. This version from Target fits a wide range of sizes and offers a zipper closure. Not sure about you but trying to get my Bulldog to out something on without a zipper is like wrangling a herd of turtles. Anyway, your pup will love the soft, stretchy fabric and feel stylish in it’s ombre green/blue design.
YETI Stainless Steel Non-Slip Dog Bowls
Famous for the length of time they can keep things cold, Yeti has officially joined the dog business and used their proprietary knowledge to create a stainless-steel dog bowl. This nonslip, rust-resistant dish is worth every penny.
Giant Inflatable Fire Hydrant
Ok, I openly admit that this might also be for the humans. Who wouldn’t love a 5-foot inflatable fire hydrant?! A 360-degree “soak zone,” spinning top distribution and side water spray…there’s fun for everyone. Grab this BigMouth inflatable from Perpetual Kid to keep the whole family cool.
Cooling Pillow for Small to Medium Dogs and Cats
Perfect for cats and small or medium-sized dogs, this cooling pillow from Amazon will support your pet’s neck and provides a cool solution for sleeping and relaxing it’s waterproof and non-toxic and easy to clean. With one of these, your pet’s guaranteed to always have the cool side of the pillow.
Fish Pool Dog Toy
The final item on this list is a non-inflatable, fold-up dog pool from Sun Squad at Target. All I can say about this is that we use it every…single…day during the warm months. Our Frenchie would go years without a bath it he could, but his most favorite pastime is “swimming.” Not only will this keep your dog entertained and cool but it also makes for some Insta worthy pics.
