Pet Expert Charlotte Reed Discusses How Pets Can Beat the Heat

(PRWEB) June 8, 2007 -- With the season's rising temperature and humidity, dogs have an extremely difficult time staying healthy and happy on daily basis. Although most dogs, naturally covered in a coat of fur, try to keep themselves fresh by panting or seeking out cooler places to rest, like tile floors, bathtubs and under trees, pet owners can use solution-oriented pet products to keep their four-legged friends comfortable.

"Heavy-coated breeds, like the American Eskimo or the Norwegian Elkhound; senior, overweight; snubbed-nose breeds, like English Toy Spaniels, Pugs and Shih-Tzuhs; and dogs that are low to the ground, like Dachshunds, have a difficult time keeping cool in the summer months," says Charlotte Reed. "Limiting their activity outside by taking them out during the cooler hours of the morning or evening, refraining from leaving them in parked cars, and providing them with clean, cool water a few times a day help, but there are a few pet products in the marketplace that provide great cooling solutions, too!"

Charlotte Reed recommends five products found at www.inthecompanyofdogs.com which can help your pet beat the summertime heat.

Sporty vest is cool to wear: The cooling vest provides the optimum cooling effect by simply soaking the adjustable vest in water.
