With temperatures soaring into the triple digits in some areas of the country, it’s important to remember that your dog needs help keeping cool during these “dog days.” Be sure to keep plenty of water on hand and even carry a portable water bowl for walks. Provide lighter-weight bedding in lieu of thick mattresses that can trap and amplify a dog’s own heat. And never, ever leave your dog inside a parked car. It takes only minutes for the temperature inside a closed car to hit 120 degrees and higher.
