DOG DAYS OF SUMMER:COOL GIVEAWAY
This time of the year is best described as the “dog days of summer.” The weather does not stop my Luigi who is a pretty active dog. He loves chasing the ball and flying in the air after them. One of my favorite pastime is walking him several times a week through our miles of nature walks. The weather has been pretty hot this August so we have been taking a break and biking instead. So to keep both of us healthy we pack a small cooler filled with water, snacks and his favorite collapsible travel bowl. The bowl can be found at Petco.
After 4 miles of biking we stop! … so many options can’t figured out which way to go! Detroit 875 miles or shall it be Kapaula 4252 miles. Enough said mom.. its drinking time !
Luigi and I love the  travel bowl its sturdy and it collapses in our cooler. The bowl holds 6 cups of water sturdy enough for my messy drinker. Here are some more additional tips to keep your pet cool and still enjoy a good walk during a hot day.
- Activities with your pet done during the early morning before it get super hot.
- Pack water, pet bowl and snacks.
- Small towel. (soaking it with cool water, place it on the dogs neck to help keep him cool.)
Heading back home, I find all the shading spots. You don’t have to keep your dog cooped up inside because its hot outside, with some planning and a few items you all can enjoy the dog days of summer.
Shopping ideas to keep your friend cool and happy!

I love finding handy gadgets for my dog and that pouch is clever. I use collapsing bowls, but recently discovered the dog water bottle and could use a back up.
Love the photos of Luigi!
Thanks Robin, Glad you like the gadgets, I love the shower spray that is attached on the water bottle.

This looks like a cool bowl. Pun intended. I don’t usually shop at Petroleum it seems to be a little more expensive for the items that I purchase. With a GC I could check it out again.
Thanks for stopping by, the bowl in picture was only $4.00. Take care and good luck

I’ve never shopped at Petco before but I know my kitties would love for me to
Good luck and hope you enjoy those kitties, I had 10 cats at one time we are down to 4 my oldest is 22, sitting right next to me while i type this to you. Maria
Luigi is such a cutie! Beautiful pictures! It has been 100 plus here in Northern California so we carry gallon jugs of water for our two German Shepherds.
Wow that is very hot, keep cool and enjoy your dogs, Maria
With three dogs and three cats (the youngest just turned 2 months old and is finally eating on her own – no more bottle feeding), we use a lot of pet food, treats, and other things. I could really use this gift card!
Oh! Good luck, Wow you have your hands full! Maria
It is great to think about your dog when taking a walk and providing a water dish. I see so many people running their dogs and no water for them. I take water with me for both my dog and me.
So happy you take water with you, its really helps to take a cool towel and wrap it around there necks, makes them feel good and refreshed during there walk 🙂
Maria
He is a cutie pie.

a good time. Great looking water bowl.
Lyn, he looks forward to walking everyday! Tomorrow he will be unhappy camper, i have to work my other job

Maria what a cutie Luigi is. I too am a dog lover and see why you want to spend your days with him riding around . That c ollapsible cup is also a very smart idea.
Hi Mary, he is my pride and joy, since the kids are big now, he has filled a void! There are so many gadgets out there, I love the shower head for bottle water. To spray the dogs when its hot.
