With a solid hot-weather strategy, you and your dog can keep exploring, even amidst the sweltering days of summer. We’re here to help with our top gear and essential tips for keeping your dog cool.
THIRST QUENCHING
Summer success starts with carrying a bowl and plenty of water to keep your sidekick hydrated on your excursions.
EVAPORATIVE COOLING
When temps are high or shade is scarce, wet the Swamp Cooler™ Vest or Swamp Cooler Zip™ Vest to tap into its evaporative cooling tech deigned to keep your dog cool. Bonus: full coverage offers shading and thermal protection rated at 50+ UPF.

PAW PROTECTING
Hot weather often means hot trails and pavement. The Grip Trex™ Boots have a rugged outsole to protect paws from hot surfaces and a breathable mesh upper to keep air flowing.
SUPER SOAKING
As temperatures peak, sometimes your best bet is to head for the water and cool off with a splash. Engaging floating toys offer plenty of motivation to go for a swim.
DAWN (AND DUSK) PATROLLING
Alpine starts and twilight treks take advantage of the coolest parts of the days. These lower temps come with lower light, and The Beacon™ Safety Light is a great way to boost your pup’s visibility in those conditions.
