Hot weather affects all dogs, but did you know certain features make some pups more vulnerable to the heat? 🤔☀️⁣
⁣
👃Breeds with short noses and flattened mouths, such as Pugs, Boxers, and Shih Tzus, can have a bit more difficulty breathing during the summer. ⁣
⁣
🐶 Labs, Siberian Huskies, and Bernese Mountain Dogs have double coats, which makes them more susceptible to heat-related issues. Hot air gets trapped under the thick layers of fur, making it more difficult to regulate their temperature. ⁣
⁣
😎 Keeping your pup cool during summer is important for their health and wellbeing. Keep clean, fresh water nearby in a shaded area, and use a damp towel on the floor and/or a fan to cool them down. ⁣
⁣
🧡 Swing by Dogtopia this summer so your pup can enjoy uninterrupted playtime in our climate-controlled playrooms. We also offer comfortable boarding stays if your pup needs overnight relief from the heat! ⁣

Did you know that when dogs repeatedly lick 👅, they release endorphins that can reduce anxiety and boredom? That’s why our lick-paint art is such a hit! 🧡

Contact Dogtopia of The Shire to fill your dog’s day with fun activities.

Our daycare dogs love creating incredible pieces of art. 🌸🎨 This lick-painting activity helps stimulate their minds to reduce boredom, and the repetitive licking action releases endorphins that reduce anxiety.

We are thrilled to announce that the Dogtopia Foundation has surpassed a major milestone in our mission to support our veterans! Thanks to the incredible support from our daycares, dedicated teams, amazing pet parents, and beloved pups, we have successfully supported the training of more than 500 service dogs for veterans in need. 👏

These highly trained dogs are transforming lives, providing unwavering companionship, and bringing newfound independence to our brave veterans. 🐾

This achievement is a true testament to the power of our community working together. Join us in celebrating this milestone and continue to support our mission. 💙
