Pooch Tips
Spill-proof water bowls in your car can be helpful in keeping your dog hydrated in the summer heat. Keep one of these along with a gallon of water in your car at all times. It comes in handy after those long hikes and frisbee sessions at the park, and you don't have to worry about it making a mess. But remember, don't leave your dog unattended in your car in the summer!
