How to keep your dog or cat cool this summer

Don’t forget to provide your pets with shade and keep their water supply fresh and replenished — especially in hot weather

If you’re hot, imagine what it’s like under a fur coat? Don’t forget to offer shade to your four-legged friends and to keep your pet’s or pets' water fresh and replenished through the year — but most especially in summer where they can quickly become dehydrated. 

If your dog or cat is reluctant to drink enough, consider a water fountain. The trickling action will entice many animals (cats are a sucker for dripping/dribbling source) to up their intake.
