2.  Iceberg spotted!!  - get some ice in their bowl! A great way to keep them cold is to make sure their water is, add ice throughout the day when the temperature is very hot! 

3. Give them a very fashionable treat! A wet washcloth, soak a household kitchen washcloth in cold water and wrap it loosely around your dogs neck, keeping them nice and cool.
