every summer feels like a boss fight for my dog. the heat hits, and suddenly he’s panting like he ran a marathon just walking to his water bowl. here’s what’s been saving us: 1️⃣ walk early or late – hot pavement burns paws and he overheats so fast 2️⃣ don’t over-bathe – too many baths mess up his skin and make his fur dry 3️⃣ switch food and water often – heat spoils stuff quick and can upset his tummy 4️⃣ don’t shave them bald – fur protects! shaved too close = sunburn + itchies 5️⃣ keep up with bug protection – fleas, ticks, all the gross stuff shows up in summer 6️⃣ make water easy – i leave bowls everywhere. he drinks more if it’s easy to reach sharing these in case your dog turns dramatic every summer too 😂 #summertips #dogcare #staycool
