Heat

Well the dog days of summer are fixen to be upon us and here is some advise for the long hot days. Always make sure your dog can get under shade. If he is chained up outside consider him getting his chain wrapped around the tree or something else, can he still reach the shade?
 WATER... they must have a large bowl of fresh water to help keep them cool. dogs cannot sweat, they try to keep themselves cool by panting. You can even take old 2 liter bottles and fill them with water , not all the way to the top as the water will expand, and freeze them. Give them a new one every day to lay on and play with to help them stay cool.
 I have seen a dogs temperature reach over 105 F. They were in a create in the garage, with the door slightly open on a hot day.  It is not a pretty sight to see a dog in heat stroke so please, please make sure your pets have shade and fresh water and are in as cool of a place as you can get them.
