“If they get completely wet and cold, they’ll think that they’re cool and start to run around a lot more, which will make them get really hot; they could hyperventilate, and it could lead to heat stroke,” explained Mason.
Frozen treats like watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumber are good ways to keep them refreshed.
“Lick mats with pumpkin or peanut butter are also a good option,” she says.
A frozen lick mat has ridges to allow you to put purees or any type of treat your pup likes to be refreshed and slow them down a little.
As for cats, Mason says indoor cats are more independent without the same desire to go outside when their person leaves, and they’re pretty good at regulating their own temperatures.
“They’ll go up high, go into cooler areas, under beds and closets, or they’ll find your air conditioner vent, and they’ll take a nice nap on it.”
