5 Ways to Keep Your Pet Safe in Extreme Heat This Summer

As the summer sun blazes on, our furry friends face serious risks from extreme heat — especially in hot climates like the UAE. At Desert Paws, we believe pet wellness begins with protection, hydration, and thoughtful care. Here are 5 simple, vet-informed ways to keep your pet safe and comfortable this season.

☀️ 1. Keep Outdoor Time Short & Shaded

Avoid peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM). If walks are needed, go early in the morning or late evening. Stick to shaded routes and avoid hot pavements, which can burn paw pads.

💧 2. Always Have Cool, Fresh Water On Hand

Hydration is key! Whether you're at home or on the go, make sure your pet has access to cool water. Our insulated pet water bottles are designed to keep water chilled — perfect for park trips or car rides.

❄️ 3. Use Cooling Accessories

Cooling vests, mats, and paw protectors help regulate your pet’s body temperature. Products like our breathable cooling vest or gel cooling mat can prevent overheating during rest and play.

🐾 4. Protect Their Paws

Hot surfaces like tiles, asphalt, and sand can cause paw burns. Use paw protection balm or breathable anti-slip socks to act as a barrier when indoors or out.

🏠 5. Create a Chill Zone Indoors

Designate a cool spot in your home for your pet to relax — ideally away from direct sunlight. Adding a fan  or cooling mat can keep them comfy.

Remember: If your pet shows signs of heatstroke — excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting — seek veterinary help immediately.
