A lovely frozen carrot: tips for cooling down your dog he won't give a shit about
Summer has arrived, and your dog is feeling the heat, expressing it in an overly dramatic manner. Discover these effective methods to keep your furry companion cool, which may not yield the desired results and might even provoke some resentment:
Chilled Carrot Treat
Indulge your dog with a refreshing and nutritious icy treat by freezing a carrot. However, don't be surprised if you find a partially licked carrot defrosting on the carpet.
Doggy Ice Cream Delight
Consider purchasing dog-friendly ice cream to please your four-legged friend. Unfortunately, your thoughtful gesture might go unnoticed, leaving you with doggy ice cream lingering in the freezer for the next decade, serving as a reminder of your failed attempt.
A Cool Breeze with a Fan
Placing your dog in front of a fan may seem like a good idea, but be prepared for constant readjustments as your furry companion seeks the perfect spot. Unless, of course, the fan startles him to the point of an unforeseen accident.
Refreshing Cold Water Hose-Down
While humans appreciate a revitalizing cold shower, your dog might interpret it as an unwanted bath. Every dog reluctantly endures this experience, and you may feel the icy chill of disapproval in his glare.
Inviting Paddling Pool Fun
Filling up a paddling pool can be a time-consuming task, only to discover that your dog has an intense fear of it. Even with his ball floating in the pool, he remains by the back door, barking excitedly with tense legs. It seems you have inadvertently introduced him to his nemesis.
Indoor Comfort
Choosing to keep your dog indoors on scorching days might seem like a compassionate decision, but in his eyes, you become the heartless villain. Despite the slightly cooler environment, he will spend the entire day yearning by the back door, expressing his discontent with mournful cries.
Shaving for Relief
Shaving your dog's fur is an effective way to provide instant relief from the heat. A close shave will leave him feeling cool and comfortable. However, be warned that he may never fully forgive you for altering his appearance.
