Not everyone can keep their dog in the house all day while they are off to work. Some dogs spend some time out in the yard. The summer heat in the desert can be especially dangerous to dogs, so if you must leave your dog outside for any period of time, make sure that shade is available. Here are some products you can buy to keep your dog out of the sun and as cool as possible on hot days.
Muttluks Dog Boots
The All Weather boots feature Hydroflex-coated yellow windproof fabric and protects your dog's paws against hot concrete.
Crate Cooling Fan
Extra ventilation for your pet! Whether at home or on the road, this battery powered cage fan features two speeds, operates quietly, and attaches easily to most crates or cages. Provides up to 100 hours of cooling, depending on speed. Uses batteries.
Drinkwell Pet Fountain
Does your pet still have water? Don't worry about it. This fountain holds over one gallon of water. Features an ultra-quiet, submersible pump to continuously circulate water. Water is returned to the large bowl via a gentle cascade from the 8-1/2" high elevated spout. Bowl and reservoir are dishwasher safe. Requires AC outlet, includes a 6 ft long power cord. Indoor use only.
Cool Bed For Dogs
Looks like a conventional bed but fills with water for relief from the summer heat. Cool core channels divert liquid throughout bed creating a smooth, comfortable feel. Optional Cover (pictured) with polyfilled bolstered sides offers the perfect soft bed. Bolster cover secures over top area of bed only. Machine washable.
Body Cooler Pet Mat
Soak this dog pad in water for 20 minutes, towel dry to remove excess water and hang dry for 30 minutes. Stays cool for days. No wetness or moisture of any kind will be next to pet's body.
Cooling Bandana for Dogs
Heat exposure can quickly sicken or kill a dog. The Cooling Bandana can help. Easy to use with a comfortable design. The bandana works to cool your dog as the water evaporates from the bandana while it is on your dog's neck. Available in three sizes. (Note: Buying a cooling bandanna does not mean that you can leave your dog outside in our summer heat with no shade, or in the car with no ventilation or cool air. This type of product is recommended for use for short periods of time, like walks or hikes.)
PetSafe SmartDoor
Of course, if you can allow your dog to stay inside in the summer, but offer access to an enclosed yard with a dog door, that's the best of all worlds. This remote control door unlocks when your pet approaches. Electronic SmartDoor is operated by the lightweight key worn as a tag on your pet's collar.
