The British Summer is finally here! But while the shining sun is enjoyed by us humans, it does make life difficult for our dogs. Covered mainly in fur and with only a small amount of sweat glands, dogs can get hot pretty quick – with panting the only real way to get rid of excess warmth. During these hot days, we need to find ways to help our dogs stay cool and safe in the growing heat.
One way we can keep our dogs cool is by ensuring they stay hydrated and so this week at Ruff Shop HQ, the hounds and their pals have been enjoying some tasty homemade cooling treats. Here’s how to make them…

Really loved the idea of using the slow feeder. Much more exciting than the Tupperware boxes I’ve been using. Feeling inspired-thanks Caroline
