Ice, Ice, Baby

Are the dog days of summer getting you down? Think about how hot it must be feeling for your pets, too. After all, they are walking around in fur coats! Since so many parts of the US are experiencing record heat waves, make sure you are taking extra special care of your little beauties. Give them access to tons of cold water (maybe even throw in an ice cube while you're at it!) and buy them a soothing cooling mat to help them keep heat exhaustion at bay.

This mat is even made from soft fabrics for those semi-demanding pets who scoff at plastic mats or cots that aren't super cozy (they are engineered to retain their icy cold temps, too). This one even comes equipped with a pillow! It's amazing. And it'll be a welcome addition to your home this summer—even if you have central air! Who ever said that "The Big Chill" was a bad thing?!
