When dogs overheat, they sweat a small amount through the pads on their feet but they primarily cool off by panting. When it is extremely hot and humid, panting is not enough for dogs to cool themselves down. You need to provide alternative cooling methods to ensure your dog can efficiently cool down to avoid heat stress.
Here are our top picks to help your dogs cool off whilst also having fun at the beach, on holidays or in your backyard!
Help your pet to stay happy, healthy and hydrated with the PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Pet Fountain.
This pet fountain holds 1.8 litres of water, the perfect size for your cat or small dog. The whisper-quiet design of the fountain causes the water to softly bubble over the ceramic tower (as opposed to a free-falling stream), which is great for pets that may be shy or timid.
The fountain uses a pump, carbon filter and foam filter that work together to remove pet hair, saliva and bad tastes from the water, so they always have clean water to drink.
RRP: $128.99 at au.petsafe.net
