Things You'll Need:
- Plenty of Water!!
-
Step 1
First step in keeping your dog safe is to make sure they always have plenty of water. We keep our dog bowl full of water all day long. It is also wise to keep one outside as well, during the warm moths.
-
Step 2
If you do not need to bring you dog in the car, during the very warm days, don't. Never keep the window rolled up, if you go into a store. Do not leave your dog in the car for any length of time, again, simply leave your dog in the nice cool air conditioned House! Keep him/her safe!

Step 3
While it's important to keep letting your dog outside to go potty, Monitor their time outside. Do Not leave them outside for long periods of time. A good 15 minutes gives them plenty of time to potty. We have bulldogs, who have a difficult time in hot weather. We have a small baby swimming pool we fill and let them jump in and cool off. If doing this, make sure the water level is low, You do not want to take any chances on drowning, but a nice couple of inches of water is just enough to keep them cool, safe.... and enough to have fun at the same time!!
