[Dailydrool] dogs and heat

[beckyandgeorgie at shaw.ca]

I live in Calgary AB Canada and rest assured there's no heatwave here and is 
like Victoria
raining all the time  but I know there is elsewhere.

Here is a tip that was sent to me . Hope it helps.
I was told by a dog judge that they put a wet white towel on dogs at the 
shows when hot
I used to have a neck thing I also put on becky that you wet and put on
Good Luck. Apparently in people it's the neck and dogs the paws. Makes sense 
to me

      In High Heat, Dampen Your Dog's Paws
      by Helen Fazio, Travel Dog Blogger, www.traveldogbooks.com






           When we get overheated running around in hot weather, we often 
put a wet towel around our necks. And when our dogs get hot, we often do the 
same for them hoping it will help them in the high heat. Better to dampen 
their paws. It's the paws that help a dog release heat, so dip those pads in 
cool (but not cold) water for a quick pick up. You can even rub the paws 
with an alcohol wipe in a pinch, and the wipes are easy to carry on walks 
and hikes in your pocket.
