Now that the weather is warm, I’m spending a whole lot more time outside with my dogs—hikes, beach trips, pool days, you name it. In this video, I’m sharing my warm weather essentials that help your pup beat the heat and thrive through the summer months. I cover cooling gear (like a pressure-activated cooling gel mat and a chilling bandana), plus a few practical items that make outdoor days easier and safer. I also talk about things people don’t always think about—like the fact that dogs can get sunburned, so sun protective clothing can be a great extra layer of protection. I show the water bottle that turns into a dog bowl (so you can offer fresh water constantly), my favorite “doodoo tube” for hikes when there aren’t trash cans, and how I use wipes to help get surface pollen off during allergy season. And because ticks are a real issue on trails, I always keep a Tick Twister in my pet first aid kit. Finally, I share the fragrance-free waxes/balms I like for paws (and more) to help keep everything moisturized and protected.
