HOT DOG

Summer is just around the corner, and we know what that means in the city. It's time to hit the Coney Island boardwalk and indulge in some Nathan's Famous hot dogs. But while you're enjoying your hot dog, don't forget to take care of your furry friend in the summer heat.

Here are some tips to keep your dog cool and comfortable during the summer months:

Hydration is key. Always make sure your dog has access to fresh, clean water. Bring a water bottle and a collapsible bowl on your walks and outings.

Avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours of the day. Early morning or evening walks are better for your dog's health and safety.

Don't leave your dog in a parked car, even with the windows cracked. The temperature inside a car can rise quickly and cause heatstroke, which can be fatal.

Invest in a cooling vest or mat for your dog. These products use evaporative cooling technology to keep your dog cool in hot weather.

Keep your dog well-groomed. Regular brushing helps remove loose hair and keeps your dog's coat healthy and shiny.

Now, back to the hot dogs. As New Yorkers, we all know the famous Nathan's hot dogs. But did you know that hot dogs are not a healthy food option for dogs? Hot dogs are high in fat and sodium, which can lead to digestive problems and obesity in dogs.

Instead of feeding your dog a hot dog, try giving them a treat that's both delicious and healthy, like frozen watermelon or cucumber slices. Your dog will thank you, and you won't have to worry about the health consequences.

In conclusion, no one should eat hot dogs. Studies have found they're smarter than dogs and even 3-year-old children! In the wild, pigs form small groups that typically include a few sows and their piglets. https://sentientmedia.org/pig-intelligence/ . So let's all enjoy the summer months in the city, but let's not forget about our furry friends. With these tips, you and your dog can have a fun and safe summer in the concrete jungle. And as always, stay classy, Lower East Side.
