Good Hot Weather Snacks for Your Dog
Your dog may be hot even at temperatures that are comfortable for you. Help him stay cool with cold snacks and meals. After exercising or outdoor activity, wait for your pet to cool down a bit before offering cold water or food. If your dog is very hot, spritzing him in the mouth with a spray bottle is healthier than gulping down water.
- Frozen peeled bananas
- Refrigerated sliced apples with cores and seeds removed
- Hard boiled eggs (chilled)
- String cheese – Skim milk mozzarella
- Cold salad with a tiny drizzle of oil (keep to the basics – lettuce, tomato, cabbage – no onions)
- Peanut butter sandwich
- Jello— Not the colorful sugary kind, make your own with natural flavoring and Knox gelatin
Tip: Cook your dog’s meals at night—so you don’t heat up your house during the hottest hours—and refrigerate so your dog can have cold food the next day.
