Cool companions

KEEPING pets cool during the hot Spanish summer is essential for their well­being, just like it is ours. Here are some strategies to ensure your animal companions stay comfortable:

Water availability: Always provide fresh, cool water. Consider adding ice cubes to keep it chilled.

Shady spaces: Create shaded areas where pets can escape the sun, either indoors or in a sheltered part of the yard.

Cooling products: Invest in cooling mats or bandanas specifically designed for pets.

Avoid hot surfaces: Walk pets during cooler parts of the day to prevent their paws from burning on hot pavements.

Air circulation: Keep air flowing with fans or air conditioning, especially if leaving pets indoors.

Paddling pools: Small pools can offer a fun way for pets to cool down.

Grooming: Regular grooming can help, as matted fur traps heat.

Remember, different pets have varying needs, so always observe them for signs of overheating and consult with a veterinarian for specific advice. Spanish summers can be enjoyable for pets too, with the proper care and attention.
