Keeping Dogs Cool During Summer
Kelly Fitzpatrick
How do you keep your pups happy in the heat? Sure there are lots gadgets and plenty of gear you can get to help; cooling mats are great, bandanas with ice pack inserts, wading pools, but what about summer cooling TREATS? Now that I have a baby I can’t always have all of my dogs inside with me, anyone with children no doubt understand that even with the best Mat Trained dogs its just not the easiest feat having multiple dogs indoors constantly. While dogs might be well under control, the fact is - the baby isn’t! (I’ll keep trying :D ).
So when my pooches are outside on a hot day I like to give them a nice cool treat from the freezer that they can enjoy either inside their crate or under a tree in the breeze.
I always like to make sure I have a stock of different varieties but my go to are Stuffed Hooves and Coated Cookies.
I fill hooves & coat cookies in sausage meat or liver paste and then freeze them.
It’s a great way to keep them entertained, cool and it also prolongs the life of the hooves (added bonus!)
