Hi everyone,

With the current heatwaves, many dogs are snubbing their plush beds because they're just too warm. There are several alternatives: cooling mats, breathable Oxford fabric mattresses, or raised beds that allow air to circulate underneath.

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide on the subject to help you find your way around the options: kalmo.fr/blogs/actualites/chien-frais-fortes-chaleurs

What are you using to keep your dogs cool this summer?

    Hi,

    With the hot weather, providing your dog with a cool and well-ventilated spot can really help them cope with the temperatures. A cooling mat, a raised bed, or simply a shady, breezy area can be great options depending on your dog's preferences.

    The most important thing is to keep fresh water available for them and allow them to choose the spot where they feel most comfortable. If you see any signs of heatstroke (excessive panting, weakness, loss of balance...), you must see a vet immediately.

    Best regards,

    Victoire
