Imagine braving the summer heat in a fur coat. That’s what your pet goes through!

As the mercury climbs, the Kriser’s Pack has put together a group of “Noseworthy” items to help keep them cool and protected against the heat.

Chillz Cooling Pads from Hugs are great for both dogs and cats. This mat is filled with pressure-activated cooling gel that keeps pets comfortable, with no need to freeze or chill. It’s lightweight and portable, and great for inside on the floor or in a crate, or outdoors on the grass.

Pawz booties are made of natural rubber and are 100% biodegradable. Designed to go on easily and fit securely, without zippers or straps, they’re a great option to protect against hot pavement or sand. Unpadded, they feel a little like a sock giving your pet full paw feel and motion. They come in a 12-pack and can be worn multiple times, making them a great value.

Muttluks Pawstik is an easy-to-apply, bees wax based balm that helps protect sensitive pads from salt, sand and heat, while also healing and soothing irritated paws. Made in Canada from natural ingredients, this is a great option to have on hand year round.

RC Pet Products Ultimate Cooling Coat is another great option to keep dogs cool. The ultra absorbent material holds 3 times its weight in water, while the mesh panels promote air circulation. And it’s super easy to use: just wet under the faucet and wear! (Well, you don’t wear it…your dog does!)
