Top 4 Summer Safety Tips For Dogs

Here at EzyDog, your pup's safety and comfort are top priority. With the climbing summer heat, it's important to be mindful of your dog's safety to avoid overheating, exhaustion, and dehydration. Here are our 4 tips to keep your dog cool this summer.

1. Have quick & easy access to fresh drinking water

Water is key to keeping your dog cool and hydrated. Whether you plan to spend the summer hiking your winding local trails or heading to the beach or lake for waterfront fun, access to fresh water for your dog is essential. Don't stress about having to find a water fountain or have your dog drink from potentially contaminated water: our Leaf Bottle makes it easier than ever for your dog to drink on the go. This BPA-free bottle holds up to 20 oz of fresh water. Its lightweight design features a trough-shaped opening for easy drinking, where excess water can simply be poured back in.

2. Lifejackets are a must for extended water play

Whether your dog is a confident swimmer or just enjoys running on the shore, extra water safety is essential. Our DFD X2 Boost Life Jacket gives owners peace of mind, so their pups can keep having fun in the water. Constructed using robust 1680 denier nylon, this life jacket delivers optimal buoyancy and comfort. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure yet cozy fit for dogs of all sizes, complemented by reflective piping that boosts visibility.

3. Never leave a pup in a hot car

Even if you blast the AC and think you'll be gone for just five minutes, it's never a good idea to keep your dog in your car during these hotter summer months. If you have errands or plans that take you away from your dog, it's best to leave them to relax comfortably at home safe from the heat.

4. Avoid extraneous exercise on hot days

Summer is a fun time full of your dog's favorite activities: long walks, games of fetch, swimming, you name it. Make sure to keep an eye on the weather reports to track changes in temperature. If the outside temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it's best to avoid extended outdoor play and walks. If it's too hot, try taking your pup for a walk around the block, or set a timer for 10 minutes of play in your backyard.

Wherever your summer adventures take you, don’t forget to take it all in and enjoy making memories with your best friend!
