Pet parent essential anik-aniks this summer!

Here are some of our recommended pet parent anik-aniks for the summer!

Summer is here, and we’re all definitely feeling it. But did you ever wonder how our pets deal with the heat? While sweating actually helps cool us down, dogs have to rely on panting and cats on grooming themselves to regulate their temperature. 

Thankfully, there are some things you can bring with you to help your pet out. Here are some of our recommended pet parent anik-aniks for the summer!

1. Cooling Mat 

You can place a cooling mat in your pet’s bed, crate, floor, or even on the back seat of your car. This mat is especially helpful for pets with thick hair and senior pets that have a harder time with the heat. 

2. Foldable Dog Bowl 

One of the best ways to fight off heat stroke is to hydrate! If you’re taking your pet to the vet or to the groomer’s, this foldable dog bowl is a convenient essential to make sure they drink enough water. 

3. Paw Balm 

Just like how we carry around a lip balm, your pet should always pack their paw balm! A balm can help protect your pet’s paws from hot surfaces, making them less prone to cracking or burns. You can also use the balm for your pet’s nose to avoid it from getting chapped too! 

4. Travel Brush 

This type of brush is perfect for your pet’s on-the-go grooming! Having loose and tangled fur actually traps the heat in your pet’s body. Brushing their fur regularly can do wonders to help your dog or cat cool down. 

5. Spray Bottle 

Having a spray bottle with water on hand is a great way to keep your pet cool. But important things to note: 1. Don’t use ice cold water for the spray. It’s better to use cool water. 2. You should spray lightly on your pet’s fur and avoid their nose and ears.
