Summer is here and will stay awhile! Ah, those long summer days! For us, it means lying in the sun, wearing shorts, dresses, and skirts, eating ice cream, and enjoying outdoor terraces (when they\u2019re open again ?). However, hot summer days can be stressful for dogs. That\u2019s why it\u2019s good to prepare in advance for how to take care of your dog during hot summer days.<\/p>\n<p>Dogs have difficulty dissipating heat because they don\u2019t sweat like humans. While we can sweat all over our bodies, dogs can only sweat through their paw pads. Additionally, a dog can cool down by panting. Sticking their tongue out, dogs cool down their warm blood through evaporation. The rest of their bodies are covered in fur, which makes it difficult for heat to be released. As a result, dogs heat up faster than humans and cool down less quickly. Overheating can cause the proteins in their bodies to denature, leading to serious consequences. Therefore, keeping your furry friend cool during the upcoming hot days is essential! That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together 10 tips for keeping your dog cool during the hot summer days!<\/p>\n<h2>10 TIPS FOR YOUR DOG DURING HOT SUMMER DAYS<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Trim your dog\u2019s coat.<\/h3>\n<p>Most dogs have a thick, double coat. The undercoat of dogs retains a lot of heat. When your dog loses this extra fur, they\u2019ve taken off a thick jacket. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want to walk around on a hot summer day wearing a fur coat, would you? <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/hondenvacht-verzorging\/\">Trimming your dog\u2019s coat<\/a> helps them dissipate heat more effectively.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3407\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-368x349.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-768x728.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-664x629.jpg 664w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-600x568.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bio-en-Vegan-Vachtverzorging4-1-97x92.jpg 97w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Schedule activities in the morning and evening.<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s summer, and you want to go out and have fun with your buddy. We understand that! However, on hot summer days, your dog should avoid activities in the middle of the day. That\u2019s when the sun is at its highest, and the temperature can rise significantly. Plan your activities with your dog for the mornings and evenings when it\u2019s cooler. It\u2019s time for a siesta during the hottest part of the day!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Limit physical exertion<\/h3>\n<p>Most dogs love to play and run, especially when they\u2019re young. In their excitement, they may ignore the heat and push themselves beyond their limits. Especially when we encourage them (by <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/het-leukste-speelgoed-voor-puppys-top-10-voor-kleine-honden\/\">throwing a ball<\/a>, for example), make sure to restrain your dog when necessary, even if there are no visible signs of exhaustion. Dogs generate a lot of heat when moving, which can quickly become too much. Avoid strenuous activities like cycling with your dog on hot summer days. Long walks are only possible if the dog can rest and cool down regularly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3409\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-368x368.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-629x629.jpg 629w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-92x92.jpg 92w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Always provide plenty of cool water.<\/h3>\n<p>Whether in your backyard or hiking in the woods, always carry fresh and cool drinking water with you on hot days. Dogs cool down by drinking water. Your dog will need and want to drink more than usual on warmer days. Nowadays, special collapsible water bowls are available so you can provide your dog with water anywhere and anytime. Remember not to use ice-cold water. It can cool the body too rapidly, causing it to retain heat. This is very dangerous on a hot day, and your dog needs to dissipate heat. Cool water is the most effective way to cool down your dog. If your dog shows signs of overheating (panting, drooling, lethargy, high temperature, fainting), play it safe and give them lukewarm. Do you only have cold water with you? Then share it in small amounts at a time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3412\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-368x291.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-797x629.jpg 797w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-600x474.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen5-117x92.jpg 117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Let your dog swim<\/h3>\n<p>A great way for dogs to cool off on hot summer days is to go for a nice swim! <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/puppy-leren-zwemmen-in-4-stappen\/\">Just keep in mind: you\u2019ll need to teach your dog how to swim properly first!<\/a> But even if your furry friend never learned to swim well, playing in the water is a wonderful way to cool off. Just paddling in the water cools a dog down significantly\u2014as long as their paw pads get wet! Does your dog really hate water? Try luring them with a toy or a treat, or set up a kiddie pool in your yard. Sometimes dogs that are afraid of water will dare to walk through it. Alternatively, you can choose to wet your dog\u2019s paw pads yourself. A kiddie pool or garden hose is also ideal when there\u2019s no water nearby, but you still want your dog to have some water fun!<br \/>Translated with DeepL.com (free version)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3413\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-368x291.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-797x629.jpg 797w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-600x474.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen6-117x92.jpg 117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. Avoid hot surfaces.<\/h3>\n<p>It may sound fantastic: sun, sea, and beach. And while most dogs love the beach, it\u2019s not a good place for them on a hot summer day. White sand heats up quickly in the sun, and your dog can burn their paw pads. These are painful wounds that can bother your dog for a long time. The same goes for asphalt, which becomes very hot in the sun. Generally, if it feels hot under your bare hand or foot, don\u2019t let your dog walk on it! Instead, let your dog walk on moist sand (e.g., in the forest) or grass, preferably in shaded areas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3410\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-368x368.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-629x629.jpg 629w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-92x92.jpg 92w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7. Provide cool spots.<\/h3>\n<p>In your yard, inside your home, at your campsite. Wherever you take your dog this summer, make sure there are plenty of cool spots. If necessary, set up a parasol to provide shade or a fan to circulate cool air. Of course, your dog can choose where to lie down, but don\u2019t let him stay in direct sunlight for too long. Although some dogs love it, they still can\u2019t regulate their body heat very well. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/10-tips-om-een-puppy-door-te-laten-slapen\/\">If your dog\u2019s usual spot is nice and cool, that\u2019s ideal!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>8. Get cooling products.<\/h3>\n<p>There are various cooling products available for dogs on the market today. These include cooling harnesses, bandanas, cooling mats, and chilled toys. The harnesses (cooling vests), bandanas, and mats are made of material that absorbs cold water and can hold onto it for an extended period. These products are highly effective in providing additional cooling for your dog. These products can be a lifesaver if you have a dog that is particularly sensitive to heat (such as young and old dogs, overweight dogs, or dogs with short noses).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3414\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-368x244.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-948x629.jpg 948w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen7-139x92.jpg 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ruffwear.com\/collections\/cooling-gear-for-dogs\/products\/swamp-cooler-dog-cooling-vest\">ruffwear.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>9. Never leave your dog in the car.<\/h3>\n<p>This is a tip and a command: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/hond-in-auto\/\">never leave your dog in the car on a hot day!<\/a> The temperature inside a car rises rapidly, making it too hot for your dog within a short time. Even leaving them for \u201cjust\u201d fifteen minutes while you run errands can be life-threatening. A dog left in a car on a hot day can die within fifteen minutes. Leaving a window open or parking in the shade is not enough. Only if the air conditioning can remain on, keeping the car cooler than the outside temperature, can your dog stay in the car. Also, always ensure that fresh water is available. The advice from animal welfare organizations is clear: above 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit), never leave your dog in the car!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3411\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-368x368.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-629x629.jpg 629w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-92x92.jpg 92w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen4-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>10. Bring sunscreen Dogs, like humans, can get sunburned.<\/h3>\n<p>Their fur provides some protection against UV radiation, but they still have thinly-haired areas, such as the nose, belly, groin, and ears, which are particularly sensitive to sunlight. Breeds with thin or light-coloured coats, hairless breeds, and dogs with a trim shorter than 7 mm are at extra risk. Therefore, always bring particular sunscreen for dogs to protect your furry friend. Sunscreen for humans is unsuitable for dogs because it often contains zinc oxide, which is toxic to dogs if ingested or licked. Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl, octyl, and p-methoxycinnamate), PABA esters (Padimate-O, Octyl Dimethyl PABA), and salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate) are also dangerous for dogs. Dog-specific sunscreen typically lasts about 2 hours, so remember to reapply it regularly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3415\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-368x244.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-948x629.jpg 948w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOG_hete-zomerdagen8-139x92.jpg 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/naturaldogcompany.com\/\">Natural Dog Company<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sources: \u201c10 Tips for Your Dog on Hot Summer Days\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 De hondenbescherming<br \/>\n\u2013 Dierendokters.com<br \/>\n\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/verhuisdieren.nl\/blog\/moet-ik-mijn-dier-beschermen-tegen-zonnebrand\">https:\/\/verhuisdieren.nl\/blog\/moet-ik-mijn-dier-beschermen-tegen-zonnebrand<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Written by: Jori Noordenbos<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve noticed it in the past few days: it\u2019s warmer again!
