How To Keep Your Pets Cool

My cat Sugar loves to go outside. in the summer time, we try to keep him in so that he doesn't get too hot but he still escapes a few times. as a result, he comes back almost panting because of the heat. so, we've figured out some ways to keep him cool. i decided i should share these tips on my blog since alot of pets ( and people! ) are feeling the heat this summer. so, here are my top tips for keeping your kitties ( and canines ) cool:

• Drop a couple of ice cubes in your pet's water bowl
• make tuna popsicles for your cat ( check my blog archives for the post on that recipe )
• refill your pet's water bowl as often as possible. it's important that your pet doesn't get dehydrated during this hot summer.
• if you have a dog, fill up a kitty pool with water and let your dog cool his/her paws in it
• use a "Furminator" brush to remove extra fur. that way, your pets won't have as much of that warm fur on while they're trying to stay cool.

So, those are my tips for keeping your pets cool this summer. have a great summer vacation and stay out of the heat!
