Are you concerned about keeping your dog cool and entertained during this hot weather? With temperatures increasing, your dog may not be able to have their usual daily walks and may be missing spending time outside. There are lots of simple ways to combat this and keep your dog happy and stimulated during this warm weather.
Lick Mats
Lick mats are a great way at keeping your dog not only entertained but also cool in the warm weather!
You simply can add any type of paste, pate or even dog friendly peanut butter to the mats and then pop them in the freezer to cool over! You can even add in some of their favourite treats to make the mat more enriching for them.
Looking for some tasty enrichment options? Here are a few favourites:
- Arden Grange Pastes, available in Turkey, Liver and Salmon flavours
- Anco Pates, available in varying flavours
Kong Toys
A Kong toy is great enrichment for a dog all year round, but it can also be especially useful in this heat to enrich them and cool them down. Simply fill the King toy with paste or pate or even the Kong Easy Treats! The frozen treat can help slow down the dogs eating, and allows them to work for their treat, providing them with a more rewarding experience.
Ice Cream
Another great way to keep your dogs entertained in this heat is to provide them with a refreshing frozen treat such as ice cream or frozen yoghurt! This is a fun and tasty treat that they can enjoy while they cool down.
Need some frozen treat inspiration for your pup? Here are some of our favourites:
- Scoops Ice Cream, available in Mint and Vanilla!
- Frozzy's frozen yoghurt, available in multipacks and varying flavours!
All of these treats are great ways to keep your dogs entertained in this summer heat while also keeping them cool! They are the perfect way to keep them enriched! Always make sure to provide them with fresh drinking water when giving any of these treats!
