Cool dogs Since dogs can't think as their owners do, take extra precautions in extreme heat. A thermometer that reads 78 degrees doesn't necessarily mean it’s an ideal time to take Spot on a long walk or run. The heat index aS ects the weather in summer much the same as the wind chill factor works in winter. Humidity can cause the day to be much ho er than what the thermometer reads. Many dogs will wrinkle their noses and instinctively resist when it’s too hot to handle the outdoors. Always be mindful that it’s harder for dogs to cool down than it is for humans.

Shelter dogs from the sun Your dog might enjoy a li le sunbathing early in the day, but she ultimately prefers a cool, shady spot to relax. Plus, extensive sun exposure can cause sunburn in dogs. The best thing is to oS er shelter from the sun. Shade from trees is OK, but an ac- tual covered structure is be er such as a canopy or tent. Or perhaps purchase an in- sulated, well-ventilated dog house and place it in a shady area of the yard, if possible. Of course, the most ideal shelter is inside the home. Dogs love cold tile and concrete R oors. Remember! Nothing can substi- tute fresh water and shade. No dog should go for long without plenty of both. Photo by Jo Lundeen
