It's hot even at night. Idk how to cool the dogs off
What about it?
It's 95% degrees F right now and 80% humidity. According to a chart I found on heat index it "feels like" 136°F!! Florida summer is back, and it's hot and humid at night as well. Idk if this is going to make much sense for people not living in hot humid places, but it's like you're walking through soup. Sweating does nothing for you. There is no evaporative cooling because there's no more room in the air for any more moisture. It just clings to you and honestly makes it feel even hotter. Shade is useless, night is useless, breezes are rare and even then rarely useful. I can't imagine what it's like to be covered in fur unable to sweat-- you know though? I bet people from similar locations know more what it feels like to be a dog than other places since our swear doesn't cool us off. The Southeast and plenty of places in Central and South America should be in charge of making cooling equipment. I'm so tired of finding hopeful products for myself or my dogs only to find out they don't work in high humidity.
Anyway. Ranting is useless too, probably. My dog is 14. She can't stay inside til November, but it's noticeably harder for her to be outside right now. Fellow people of the hot and humid, any tips?? Is it too crazy to dunk a dog sweater in water and put it in the freezer? I don't think there's enough freezer space for that, darn it. Someone's gotta have something. Doggo photo for tax. Also it just seems like cruel and unusual punishment to post in a dog forum without showing off your dog. Inquiring minds want to see the pooches!
