With temperatures set to soar over the coming days in Britain, keeping our beloved dogs cool is vital. While many owners will splash out on costly cooling pads or paddling pools, experts believe a 70p misting spray of cold water may just be as effective.
The mercury is predicted to go beyond 30C in some part of the country, but keeping dogs hydrated and comfortable is easier said than done. Adding ice cubes to water bowls or treating them to a dog cooling toy are just some of the ways to help.
A spokesperson from retail company Tap Warehouse said: "Keep your pets cool with a spray bottle filled with cold water and gently spray over their body and feet. This will give a cooling effect and relax your pets as some can get distressed when they overheat.
