Yes, we’ve had some unseasonably cool days that to be honest . . both my dog and I have been rolling around in the grass and frolicking as we enjoy the low 80’s and even lower humidity.
It’s June afterall.
Triple digits are waiting for us and our dogs.
And, it kinda sucks.
We could do 2 things:
1. We could count down the days until PSL season begins
2. Or, we could support our furry friend through the hardest time of the year
The summertime heat is serious business here in DFW. It does not mess around and we need to constantly check in on our two babies, Dutch and Bow Bow. I have to monitor how long their potty breaks are, how long their doggie play dates are and definitely how long our walks and sniffaris are. This is important to make sure that they don’t overheat.
Our dogs are prone to overheating and dehydration during the warm months, so make sure yours have enough water and try to keep them in the shade when you’re outside. With a few simple tricks like these, you can keep your pup chill all summer long and solidify your place as the coolest pet parent on the block.
Temperatures will only continue to climb so here are our resources to help keep your dog cool in this Dallas heat.

Our babies would get a kick out of this “sprinkler” made just for them. And you know what? So would we! 😀

3. Provide them with a chill collar
Dog’s can’t sweat. They pant to regulate their body temperature. The hotter it gets, the harder they have to work to keep themselves cool. Dog’s just want to chill. They’ll need extra help during the warmer months to keep them staying cool… K9 CHILL is the comfortable + safe way to combat overheating , reduce fatigue, prevent heat-stress + alleviate dehydration. Simply moisten K9 CHILL with cold water.

This dog park offers everything a pooch could want; including trails, shady areas and an expansive lawn area. A unique “dog beach” adjacent to the doggy lake is perfect if your Dog loves to swim, frolic on the 6 foot wide loop trail, lounge under the pavilion, or cool off in the doggy shower surrounded by beautiful metal fencing with custom cut dog silhouettes and elegant flagstone structures.
Keep in mind that it’s closed on rainy days and on Tuesdays for maintenance.

Maintaining a comfortable temperature in your car’s backseat during the hot days of summer and winter’s extreme cold is next to impossible. The Noggle prevents sweaty, uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous car rides for your pets in the summer and keeps them warmer and more comfortable during the winter months.
Alrighty all you dog parents, stay strong, stay vigilant and help make this Summer as cool as possible in Dallas.
