Summer heat hits hard—and your dog feels it too. Let’s talk hydration, smart feeding, and how to keep your furry buddy safe and chill.
Dogs don’t sweat like we do. Dry nose, low energy, and heavy panting? These could be signs of dehydration. Time to take action.
Sounds obvious, but fresh, clean water is step one. Whether your pup eats dry dog foods or wet food, hydration is a must for dog nutrition.
Try goat milk for dogs as a hydrating snack. Chill it or freeze it into cubes—it’s yummy, rich in nutrients, and great for sensitive tummies.
Blend goat milk, dog-safe fruit, or broth into frozen puppy treats. A tasty way to beat the heat and sneak in some hydration.
Dry dog foods can be dehydrating. Add water or broth to moisten meals. Great for senior dogs and puppies too!
Feed during cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening. Skip heavy meals and stick to light, healthy dog food options.
Puppies and older dogs are heat-sensitive. Choose moisture-rich dog meals and make sure they stay indoors during peak heat hours.
Does your pup love to play? Look into vet-approved hydration supplements to keep energy up and prevent dog illness from heat stress.
Smart feeding + hydration = a healthy summer dog! With the right dog diet, plenty of water, and cool treats, you’ll both enjoy the sunshine.
