These past few days in the Philadelphia area have been VERY hot.Temperatures in the high 90’s are tough to handle, but imagine if you had a fur coat like your dog does!Not just is it uncomfortable but with the threat of heat exhaustion it can cause serious health problems as well.If you are going to be outside with your dog for long periods of time then the Body Cooler Pet Mat from Drs Fosters and Smith is what I recommend to keep your dog cool and comfortable in hot temperatures.
The mat is filled with non-toxic crystals that are activated when soaked in water.Just place the mat is water for up to 20 minutes, hang dry to remove excess water and then it is cool and ready to use. The est part is it can stay cool for long periods of time each time it is activated and it can be reused over and over again.Also, though water is used to fill up the mat your pup will not get wet while laying on it.
Available in extra small through extra large, dogs of all sizes can enjoy feeling this cold mat on their bellies.My dog Baxter used to always kick water up from his water bowl onto his tummy on really hot days to keep cool but this mat gives him a comfortable place to lay and a simpler way to cool his body down.
If you are planning on spending long days outside in the heat you don’t want to leave the Body Cooler Pet Mat at home!
Designed for the outdoors, these beds made by Orvis are perfect for the warmer weather. They look great (and come in a number of cute fabrics!), dry fast, and will not get mold or mildew.
The cover is made of upholstery-grade outdoor acrylic fabric, and the inner stuffing is bonded poly fiber, neither of which will absorb water or odors. The inner stuffing will not clump or break down.
I love that you can leave it outside all summer, you can get it personalized, and the rectangular bed fits perfectly on their outdoor bed platform.
Starting at $79, these beds are well worth the money for the comfort and cleanliness of your dog when outside.

Imagine that your dog had to have a serious surgery that was going to cost you thousands of dollars…what would you do? How would you pay for it? That was the same dilemma that Wendy Barkett was in when she found out her beloved Dachshund Daisy Mae needed a dangerous and costly spinal surgery.
Instead of giving up Wendy borrowed money from friends and family so that Daisy Mae could live a healthy life. Now, post-surgery Daisy Mae is recovering and Wendy is making these wonderful Snuggle Sacks to help pay back the amazing people who lent her money for the surgery.
Each snuggle sack is made with a ton of love and 4 layers of high quality fleece. It measures about 20 by 30 inches and its perfect for the dog that likes to snuggle in under the covers or burrow in a warm blanket. The Snuggle Sack has an opening for your dog to crawl inside and my dog Baxter absolutely loves it and peeks his little head out to see what is going on while resting in his own little nest of fleece. It is perfect for those cold winter nights and lazy summer days and will be a comfortable resting spot for any snuggly pooch.
Not only will your dog being super comfortable in his new sack, but they also come in a variety of prints so you can chose the one that best matches your pet’s personality and style. Each Snuggle Sack sells for $30 ($35 in Canada) and comes with a thank you photo of Daisy Mae and Wendy until the surgery is paid for. This is a great product and a great cause and worth every penny.
One thing I love about my puppy Baxter is that he plays hard and then sleeps hard. When he is ready for a nap, he looks around the room for the most comfortable place to lay and will curl up on top of a pillow left on the floor, a lap, a soft blanket or the couch (the floor is a last resort). That all changed when we got the Puppy Hugger bed. When it arrived at my door, I was extremely impressed with how soft, luxurious and well made the bed was. I put in on the floor for Baxter to check out and he sniffed it interestedly. Then he grabbed a toy, hopped right in and since then there is no longer a question of where he is going to take a nap. He even prefers the Puppy Hugger to sleeping in my lap (not sure how I feel about that yet)!
The Puppy Hugger is made out of a pet-friendly, luxurious faux fur and has a padded well in the center, perfect for your dog to snuggle into. We tried the swanky square shape but it is also available in round, rectangle, and with two padded wells for multiple pups. There are sizes to accommodate dogs large and small and lots of stylish prints and colors to choose from. Best of all it is machine washable and will maintain its shape even after multiple times in the washing machine. Soft, safe, stylish and easy to clean…what more could we ask for?
We also were lucky enough to try one of their matching, super soft blankets. It is softer than the blanket us people use in our living room and we put it with him in his crate for him to snuggle in.
I must admit that this is Baxter’s absolute favorite of all of the products that he has tried and I love knowing that he is resting in ultimate comfort. If you want the best for your dog and they like to snuggle, then the Puppy Hugger is a must-have. Check out their wide selection of luxury products and give your puppy the best hug he will ever get!
