Helping dogs during the heatwave: expert tips

Unusually hot summers are expected in many regions in 2025. Pet owners need to take extra care to keep their dogs safe and comfortable. Canine expert Yasmin El-Saie recommends regular grooming. Brushing removes loose fur and helps with airflow. This is important for dogs with thick coats. Make sure your dog always has fresh, cool water. Provide shade and avoid walks during the hottest part of the day. Cooling mats and vests can also help. Be careful of hot surfaces that can burn paws. Taking these steps will help your dog stay healthy during the heatwave. Regular grooming, water, and shade are key.
