Mine had a paddling pool to play in till they bust it to pieces - hose pipe them down till drenched - they love it - fan on full pelt - wet towel and laying on the kitchen tiles......

you coud try putting ice cubes in his water & making up flavoured ice cubes for him. i saw some realy good ones from daycare for dogs & i will try some myself as my dogs are also balck & tan so they feel the heat lots too! i will be making up lots tomorrow for my babies!

While on holiday a few years ago we were told to put a block of rock sulpher in the drinking water. Don't know how it works but it seemed to help. I can be brought from most pet shops and lasts for ages. Only problem we had was that one of the d ogs though it was food and tried to get it out and eat it.

My GSD Viva suffers in the heat too....she doesnt help herself as she likes laying in the sun . I give her ice cubes she enjoys crunching them into small pieces then eating them. i also brought from pets at home some dog ice pops but i found they made her hypo. I also brought her a paddling pool which she loved until she tried to dig a hole whilst in it and ripped the bottom i will definatly be getting a tougher one for her as she loved playing in it. She also likes cooling down by laying in the bath as its cold she sleeps in it at night as well. and she also loves a good water fight lol
