Best MSE ways to keep your pets cool in the summer heat - 2019

Please remember to not walk dogs in this weather, take them early morning & late evenings when cooler, they can't sweat as we do & heatstroke kills. I used to always take water for my dog anyway, and only if the pavements (or sand) is cool to the touch. Water bottles in the freezer then wrapped in a towel is good for rabbits

We have a rigid plastic paddling pool in the garden for our dog £ 9.99 from the range. Easy to clean & goes in the shed in winter. I put a parasol over it to keep the water cool ! Also our dog loves ice cubes just pop them in her water bowl to stop the frost sticking them to her tongue and she picks them out and crunches them

Cold carrots from the fridge are good. Or you can freeze them. Our dog loved her gel cool mat from b&m last year but this year she keeps chewing it so we have chucked it out.

If the floor is too hot for us to walk on in our bare feet we don't let the dog walk on it
