The heatwave is giving Mrs and Mr Swiss a hard time: even with an air-conditioned office, many are reaching their limits. Your favourite four-legged friends also suffer when it gets too hot for them. With the following products, you can give them a welcome cool-down.
You crawl into the shadiest hole you know. You stay near or directly in the water whenever possible. And you drink as much as you can. Animals are no different: they also long to cool off. That's why I've done some research and rummaged through our shop for products that will help your furry friend cool down.
Bandanas are cool
Trixie has put a lot of thought into this cooling bandana for your dog: The PVA bandana, which is designed for medium-sized dogs, cools your four-legged friend by means of evaporation. This means that no hazardous substances or batteries that could overheat are used. Simply tie it around your dog and a cooling breeze will blow around his fur. [[productlist:9246890]]
Sleeping on a glacier
The cooling mat from Kerbl also works completely without electricity or pre-cooling. The gel specially developed for the mat has a cooling effect and provides your dog (or other pets) with a comfortable surface to lie on during hot summer days. You can use the mat indoors or outdoors and when travelling. It is made of robust, dirt-repellent polyester and is also easy to clean. [[productlist:8719994]]
Off to the pool
We humans cool off in the river, lake or swimming pool. If this is too dangerous for you or your dog, Josty has the solution with its dog pool. The pool, which is especially suitable for smaller dogs, does not need to be inflated for hours using an air pump, is claw-proof and otherwise very robust. When your dog no longer needs the pool, you can fold it up very easily and store it in a space-saving way for the winter. [[productlist:6316675]]
Shade is king
The dog kennel with the evocative name "Spike" provides a cooling shelter and shade in the summer heat. Made of solid spruce wood, the dog kennel protects your dog even in unplanned summer storms, rain or wind. Your four-legged friend can even find shelter here in winter when it snows. With a screwdriver, you already have everything you need for assembly and disassembly. The hut can also serve as a shelter for other animals if required. [[productlist:7514132]]
Fresh fish
The food bowl from Magisso is made of cooling ceramic and provides more freshness for your pet's daily food intake. All you have to do is briefly rinse the bowl with cold water before use. The microporous nature of the bowl absorbs moisture, which then contributes to the desired cooling of the food or water thanks to the evaporation effect. [[productlist:7332883]]
Play with me
I admit that this Kong dog toy alone is not enough to cool down your paws. But if you fill it with chilled goodies and treats, your dog will look forward to playing all the more and enjoy the well-earned, ice-cold reward even more. If necessary, you can also put the entire toy in the fridge to cool it down a little. [[productlist:6202018]]
