It\u2019s when your dog is dehydrated and drinks too much water all at once that she&#8217;s at risk of bloating or stomach spasms.\u00a0So if you\u2019ve been on the fence about getting a freezer bowl, don\u2019t worry! <a href=\"https:\/\/neaterpets.com\/products\/small-polar-bowl-14-oz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Neater Pets\u2019 Polar Bowl<\/a> is a great way to keep your dog\u2019s water cool all day.

When a Coat Isn\u2019t Enough Sun Protection<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know dogs need sunscreen, too? Sure, their coat offers some protection from UV rays, but they are still at risk for sunburn. Some breeds like Dalmatians, bulldogs, and whippets are particularly at risk. No matter the breed, if your dog spends a lot of time in the sun, it\u2019s a good idea to look for a high-quality sunscreen.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 18px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After reviewing several pet websites, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/retrievist.akc.org\/reviews\/best-dog-sunscreen-reviews-protect-your-dogs-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">AKC\u2019s blog<\/a>, it seems that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warrenlondon.com\/products\/dog-sunscreen-with-aloe-vera-moisturizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Warren London\u2019s Dog Sunscreen with Aloe Vera Moisturizer<\/a> is the consensus favorite. It\u2019s a spray sunscreen, making it easy to apply: simply spray on and allow a few minutes to soak in! Reapply the sunscreen every two hours. The aloe vera provides itching skin relief and soothes any location that had too much sun exposure. It\u2019s also lick-safe once applied!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 18px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summer Dog Traveling<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer also means a lot of traveling, which can be difficult when the mercury\u2019s rising.
