Sunny days are upon us, and while we might be enjoying the warm sun on our skin, our furry friends are having a harder time keeping cool. Whether your pup has thick fur, a light coat, or is constantly shedding, dogs don't have sweat glands like humans do, so helping them cool off is the best way to keep them from overheating in warm weather. From pool floats made especially for your pooch, to snout balm that protects your furry friend's nose from harmful UV rays, to Hawaiian-style clothing that keeps them looking and feeling cool, take a look at the best pet-friendly products that will keep your canine happy and healthy, no matter what the thermometer might read.
