The summer heat and humidity can wear you and your pet out, but during this time of year it's important to stay busy and have some fun! Most outdoor activities for people can be easily altered to include your furry friend as well. Going to the beach is a great way to cool off and relax during the hot days. Many cities have dog friendly beaches so you can bring your pet with you! Our Dog Beach Cabanas are fashionable and functional for your beach outing. You can use these at the beach, at the park or anywhere with sun to keep your fur baby cool and relaxed. Remember to bring a few dog toys to play with at the beach too!
Another great way to bond with your animal is to attend your local baseball teams "dog days". Many professional as well as minor league teams have special days that allow you to bring your pet with you to the ball game! You and your pup can enjoy hot dogs and nachos at the ball park while watching your favorite team, and socializing with other pets. This is not only fun for you, but a stimulating experience for your dog too! You can even buy them one of our MLB Dog Jerseys or maybe hat to match you and your favorite player.
If your dog is the food driven kind, which many are, you can find a local dog bakery or caf to take your pup to and get them a tasty treat. Or if you're looking for a meal yourself, many cafes and bars allow dogs on their patios as well! That way your dog can enjoy the sun and the smell of food with you. Another good summer activity for dogs and owners alike is to take a class. Many pet stores and dog schools offer summer classes on socialization, agility, training, and more! This way you can improve your dog's behavior and skills while bonding and having fun at the same time. These classes can also assist with exercise for your dog and yourself, leaving you both in better shape and happier!
