About this listen

Summer is here and while it’s the perfect time for adventures with your dog, it also brings some serious safety concerns, especially when it comes to heat.

In this episode, I’m diving into everything you need to know about exercising safely with your dog during the warmer months. Whether you're into canicross, agility, long walks or a play in the park - understanding how to protect your dog from the dangers of heat is essential.

🐾 What we'll cover:

  • Why dogs overheat more easily than humans.
  • The early warning signs of heatstroke.
  • Vet nurse-approved tips to keep your dog cool and safe.
  • Ideas for safe summer exercise, even for high-engergy dogs.
  • My personal cooling hacks for my spaniels, Luna and Lilly.


Whether you're a seasoned dog parent or new to active dog life, this episode will help you feel more confident heading into the hotter months - without risking your dog’s health.

🌡️ Remember: no dog has ever died from missing a walk, but dogs can die from heatstroke. This episode could save a life.
