It’s finally getting hotter, which is great news for the UK. We want you to enjoy the sun with your furry friend as much as possible, but due to our pooches wearing what is essentially a big coat at all times (their fur!) it is important that you prepare them for the heat. Here are PurrfectlyYappy.com’s list of products that will help you prepare your dog for the warmer weather, and help them look good doing so.

This cooling jacket comes in six different sizes and efficiently cools dogs down quickly through shading and evaporating. In warm climates, dogs typically stay cool by seeking shade in the heat of the day. The light and sleek Jet Stream uses shade-providing spandex over the back, while Ruffwear’s three-layer evaporative cooling chest panel disperses heat from the dog’s core. To activate the Jet Stream, soak in water, wring out, zip on your dog, and go.

Nothing says summer quite like this watermelon collar! With a fruity, summery feel, this collar is completely handmade in the UK. The D ring allows for other attachments including dog tags and leads. Your pooch will be beach ready with this head-turning collar.

If your dog loves the beach, then this is the one for you! It’s hand-stitched with a nautical checked material for only the most stylish of dogs. The collar is fully adjustable and comes in four sizes so will fit most dogs. The collar is 2cm in width so will be sturdy when used with a lead. The bow is also detachable, so if you are feeling slightly more understated, you can take it off.

We love the hot weather as much as the next person, but it’s so important to keep your dog hydrated – even more so in the heat. The weather warming up is even more of an excuse to get outside; longer dog walks and adventures can be great fun! These travel bowls allow your dog to stay hydrated when travelling, and they fold up conveniently too.

It doesn’t get more summer-y than this bandana! This is a beach essential. It slips over your dog’s collar and is easily removed; and don’t worry if you get it dirty at the beach because it’s machine washable! If you love this bandana as much as we do, we also sell a matching bow tie, collar and lead!

Another fruity one – but how could we leave these out! Coming in banana, kiwi, orange and watermelon, there is no better way to keep your pet safe than with these gorgeous tags. The personalisation allows you to include all your details on the back to ensure peace of mind if you and your dog are ever separated. A split ring is included so you can attach it to your pet’s collar straight away and they can start looking pawsome!
