Prepare for summer!

Summer is expected to be very warm and dry for the third year in a row. Last summer we already saw that due to the tropical temperatures, articles that cool dogs will ‘sell like hotcakes’. As deliveries may be delayed due to the corona crisis it is advisable to order in time!

Cool Dog by EQDOG
EQDOG‘s high-quality Cool Dog is safer than most other cooling vests because it is does not use a toxic gel pack. In addition, the Cool Dog actually helps the dog to cool for a long time, thanks to the special high-tech material that breathes, absorbs moisture and ensures rapid dissipation of moisture and heat. All you have to do is moisten the jacket. The body is cooled by evaporating the moisture. So as long as the jacket is damp, the dog will cool down.

User-friendly and streamlined design
The cooling jacket is easy to put on and take off, has two adjustable buckles and a zipper on the front. That also makes the Cool Dog perfect for dogs with a wider neck. The streamlined design offers a perfect fit. So make sure you measure the dog well:

choose the right size

Foldable water bowl
Wherever you go, a folding water bowl also seems essential for all dog owners this summer. EQDOG has the extremely light Travel Bowl for this purpose. It is easy to fold, space-saving and therefore easy to store. EQDOG has of course thought carefully about the design. The Travel Bowl has a flexible stainless steel ring that ensures that the water bowl stays up when filled. In addition, the bottom of the bowl is larger than the opening. Therefore, he can not fall over if your dog enthusiastically quenches his thirst. The fully taped seams are waterproof and the two handles make the bowl easy to carry, even when full. When folded, you put the Travel Bowl in a small zip pocket that is made of mesh on one side. This allows any residual moisture to escape and prevents the water trough from becoming moldy.

How to beat all weather conditions with your dog: 4 tips

During the Ciara and Dennis storms, small dogs were straining to keep all 4 paws on the ground. And for the near future there is no good news for our small and fearful four-legged friends, because heavy winds are still being forecasted. And we probably won’t keep it dry either. How do you get those small and large dogs outside for their daily walk when they don’t want to? We give you 4 tips.

Tip 1: Give the right example
Our behavior and our actions influence those of our dogs; if he sees that you like it, he will rather follow your example. So make sure that you prepare yourself well and are full of positive vibes. Show that you are enthusiastic and feel like going for a walk. You can hold that positive mood longer in a good, sturdy outdoor jacket. For example, with the Vela raincoat from Owney Outdoor you stay comfortably dry during the wet spring.

Tip 2: Start small
Do not force a dog into long walks during a storm or heavy rain. Start with short walks and gradually increase the length with each walk. In this way the dog can build up his confidence and he dares to go outside more easily in bad weather conditions.

Tip 3: Stay dry
Some dogs absolutely dislike the rain. Other dogs need a lot of help to motivate them for their walk. This doesn’t mean they are afraid of spring storms; they simply prefer to lie in the warm dogbed rather than get a soaked fur. This is a lot colder than the comfortable dogbed. For those dogs it helps to prevent them from getting wet. A waterproof Pomppa dog coat, such as SadePomppa or KevytPomppa, prevents your dog from coming home soaked.

Tip 4: Dry them off
Always dry your dog off immediately when you return home. And preferably, use the Doggy Dry or Quick Dry by EQDOG before letting your dog return to their comfortable dog cushion by, for example, EQuest 4Dogs. What better reward than a nice and warm cushion!
