For many families, summer means spending more time outdoors, whether it's venturing out to explore some trails or wildlife scenes, or hanging around in your backyard. Either way, these activities often involved including an important member of the family: your furry friend.

Depending on where you live, some breeds of dogs may struggle with the warmer climate meaning it's necessary to take extra precautions to keep your dog sheltered from the sun, hydrated and cool.

There are many ways to cool your dog when the sun is out, from sheltered elevated beds to dog-paddling pools or fun water fountain toys that splash water into their face when they put pressure on the plate.

There are two things to remember when you walk a dog in the warmer seasons: If it's too hot to hold your hand on the pavement for more than five seconds, then it's too hot for your pup's paws; and always bring water everywhere you go. You'll notice dogs get overheated when they pant a lot as they sweat through their tongues. This portable water bottle can easily slip into your backpack and holds up to 16 ounces of liquid. It even has a bowl-like concept for your dog to drink from.
