Oh man it is getting toasty. Thankfully I’ve discovered something your pets will find tasty! Kool Dogz Ice Treat Makers are on their way to the Companion Caregivers HQ.

This long-lasting icy treat is a great way to feel better about leaving your pup outside while you’re busy bringin’ home the bacon (or at least they hope you will!). You can freeze just about anything that your dog loves, but mixing in our Ice Pups from The Honest Kitchen would be deeelish!

The Kool Dogz Ice Treat Maker can provide your dog with hours of icy entertainment and it's really easy to use. Fill the bucket with water, place the cap bar in the middle, add in treats of your choice (there are also recipes included), freeze and serve on the outdoor platform. Each Kit contains a reusable bucket (with lid), bone-shaped stainless steel cap bar and 3 piece steel serving platform. The bucket included will make an ice block about 5" tall and 7.5" in diameter. When placed on the platform the top of the ice block can either be 7.5" (without the extension post) or 14" (with the extension) from the ground.

Tips to prevent heatstroke in your pet

• Be aware of ways that your pet could accidentally be caught without shade - is your pet on a tether and could potentially get caught out in the full sun? Will the shade be available all day? While the shelter provides shade, is it hotter inside the shelter? If possible, utilize shade from trees in addition to the dog house; assuring that there is sufficient shade all day long.
• If your pet is left indoors, is air conditioning available? Will the house stay cool through the heat of the day? Basement access will provide a naturally cool area to keep your pet comfortable.
• For indoor or outdoor animals, a cool water "bath" before leaving for work will provide additional cooling for your pet.
• Is fresh, cool water available at all times? Can your pet spill the water source? Consider installing an automatic pet waterer.
• Do not plan long walks or go jogging in the heat of the day. This can be life-threatening for some dogs. Plan exercise and outdoor activities in the relative coolness of morning and evening time. Be sure to bring along fresh water or a collapsible drinking bowl to allow your pet to get a cool drink when needed.
• NEVER leave your pet in the car, even it it is only for a "quick errand"! This is very dangerous, even on days that are only mildly warm. If you see a pet locked in a car, please call local animal authorities immediately, you may save a life!
