Leak proof water bottle
This water bottle is brilliant as it’s got a built in bowl and doesn’t leak in your bag. You push the lock button to let the water through into the bowl, then push the larger button and the water comes out. When they’ve had enough, you can tip the water back in the bottle, lock it again and there’s no spills.

Chill Core Mat
Lots of people on my Facebook page and in my community recommended a cool mat. This one is durable, can be used inside and outdoors, and made of cooling gel technology. It’s a reasonable price and has good reviews.

Dog cologne
I have tried these on Patch and he’s not keen and woofs at me. But Kerry Jordan mentioned using it is ideal for freshening up your car, dog beds and furniture as it’s kind to their fur and skin.

Cooling bandana
We picked this up at Dogfest a few years ago and it’s lasted well. It’s a bandana made of material that’s designed to absorb water and feel cool but without wetting your dog that you soak in water then wring out and put on them.

Don’t get caught out when you’re out and about with your dog, as if they get any cuts, nicks, injuries or ticks, you want to make sure you have everything you need to help them. I like this kit by Pawly.
