At Dogma Dog Care, we do everything for the love of dogs, especially when the summer heat is at its peak in Smyrna, GA. Our mission is to keep your furry friends cool, comfortable, and safe during these hot months. We have pools in our outdoor yards for comfort!
Hydration is Key. Just like us, dogs need plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially in the heat. Always have fresh, cool water available for your dog. We recommend bringing a portable water bottle during walks and ensuring their bowl at home is topped off frequently.
Avoid Hot Pavement:.Walking on hot pavement can be painful for dogs’ sensitive paws. To prevent burns, schedule walks during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or late evening. Stick to grassy areas, or consider dog booties to protect their feet.
Grooming for Comfort. Regular grooming is essential for your dog’s comfort during summer. At Dogma Dog Care, we offer tailored grooming services to help your dog maintain a healthy coat, which naturally regulates their body temperature. And as always, our services are driven by our deep love for every dog we care for.
Provide Shade and Cool Spaces. Make sure your dog has a cool, shaded retreat, whether indoors or out. Fans or air conditioning are ideal indoors, while a shady spot outdoors can make a big difference.
Watch for Signs of Heatstroke. Heatstroke is a serious risk in summer. If you notice symptoms like heavy panting, drooling, or lethargy, move your dog to a cooler area and contact your vet immediately.
We’re also committed to helping dogs beyond our services. That’s why we support Rescuing Rescues, a local shelter dedicated to finding loving homes for rescued dogs. For the love of dogs, let’s keep them safe, healthy, and happy all summer long.
