Better to be safe and than sorry...

Living in the UK, we’re used to changing weather patterns - if you don't like the weather, wait a minute! Even though quite a bit of the time it’s clouded over and drizzling rain, sometimes we experience hot sunny weather which may be fine for humans but can be dangerous for dogs, If you do not take measures to protect your dog, it could lead to heat stroke and death. You can keep your dogs safe at shows, training and at home with some innovative new products and some old-fashioned commonsense. Here are some cool suggestions from Agility Warehouse.
