How To Keep Your Large Shaggy Dog Cool In Hot Weather

As the weather starts to get increasingly hotter, owners of large shaggy dogs are no doubt starting to wrestling with the annual problem of keeping their pet cool in warmer weather.


There are practical measures, such as giving it a haircut, or new dangled doggy cool coats to wear. However, these are sensible solutions and today I’m going to look at three unconventional and somewhat less sensible alternatives.


1. The Porto-fan

2. The pooch sprinkler

3. The cooling projector

The Porto-fan

What better solution than a cooling breeze to follow your pooch around wherever it goes?

With the special safety feature of a wire mesh that ensures the dog‘s tail doesn’t get tangled up in the fan.

The Pooch Sprinkler

Most dogs love sprinklers and hoses, the canine sprinkler provides such refreshment wherever they wander.

The Cooling Projector

New for this season, this latest cutting-edge innovation projects images of cooling scenes onto the screen which easily slips over the back of the owner.

Over To You

Here’s one more shaggy dog, and now it’s your chance to come up with some novel ways to keep him cool.

Here are a few questions you could ask to generate some ideas:

  • What could you use to cool the dog?

  • Where could the dog go to cool down?

  • How could you use an everyday object in an unusual way to cool the dog?

  • Who could help to cool the dog?
