Dog Days of Summer

August 14, 2017

Although taking care of our furry friends is important every day, it’s especially crucial during these hot summer months. Caitlin and Danielle stopped by the ABC7 State Street Studios to talk about the dog days of summer!

Watch the segment here:

Love is a four-legged word. When your furry companion is as cute and portable as our mascot, Stummie, you’ll never want to leave him at home! We bring this little guy all over town – from lunch meetings, to photoshoots and events.

We have tons of tips and product recommendations to keep your pet happy and healthy all summer long.

Beat the Heat

When it’s really hot out, the quickest way to cool your dog down is a wet towel draped over their body. To rehydrate them, give them room temperature water (as opposed to ice cold as ice cold water can cool the body too quickly and shock the system). To hydrate even more, you can give your pup coconut water!

Chamilia “Give Love” Charm

In honor of animal protection throughout the world, this sterling silver paw print charm commemorates The Humane Society International. It’s sure to win the hearts of animal lovers everywhere! The Humane Society International is the only international animal protection organization in the world working to protect. all animals. 10% of each charm purchased will benefit The Humane Society International.

Aeslin Pup Hub

Imagine a place that integrates the products we need and love to give to our dogs and socializing with the dog loving community. Aeslin Pup Hub is a nurturing and caring environment that caters to the overall well being of every dog. They start every day with one thing in mind: What can we do to make the dog’s world a better place? 

Aeslin Pup Hub is the place to get the highest quality products for your dog while meeting and socializing with your fellow dog loving neighbors. You can find all of  these products at their Ukranian Village location on Chicago Avenue.

Inspired by dogs, connected by people. Aeslin Pup Hub offers daycare, boarding and grooming. They currently are located on Chicago Ave. in Ukranian Village and Noble Square with three more locations opening soon!

Bear and Rat

Healthful, fun yogurt treats for dogs. Unlike ice cream for humans, these treats benefit your furry friend with billions of live & active probiotic cultures that are great for immunity & digestion (and can even help with doggie breath)!

Stella & Chewy’s

Helping dogs and cats thrive through raw pet food. Grass-fed, wild-caught + organic fruits & veggies.

Dogs crave raw meat, much like they once ate in the wild. Pet parents and veterinarians tell us that feeding a raw diet helps support:

  • Healthy Digestion
  • Vibrant Skin and Coat
  • Healthy Teeth and Gums
  • Stamina and Vitality

Beco Pet Toys

Beco Pets is creates affordable, eco-friendly pet products made from natural, renewable and recycled materials.

Each character is stuffed with fibres made from recycled plastic bottles, which makes them extra soft as well as eco-friendly.

Every dog loves a toy bone and this Beco Bone will keep the toughest chewers busy for hours on end.  Made from natural rubber, the toy is durable, natural and toxin free. It has a hollow cavity for treats in the larger bone, so you can place your dog’s favorite snacks in the bone. We recommend natural, wholesome additive free treats!

Providing your dog with fun for hours on end, the Beco Ball on rope is made from natural rubber and cotton. Our natural rubber is extra strong and durable making it great for chewers. The cotton rope is easy to grip and means the pet owner can get a bit of extra throwing distance in the park without putting their arm out. This pet toy is naturally toxin free and better for the environment!

Huggle Hounds

These unique, durable and highly-styled pet products are perfect for summer!

Bark Pops

BIXBI Bark Pops are low in calories and high on flavor. Made in a human-grade facility, these light and puffy treats aren’t made with corn. Instead, they’re crafted with a special blend of pearled sorghum, rice and navy beans. Perfect for training or treating your pups.

Plato Treats

Most of us don’t live near a rushing river full of fresh salmon, farm all of our own organic ingredients or have to time to make every meal from scratch, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the same benefits.

Shore Club Chicago

Shore Club Chicago is the new restaurant on North Avenue Beach, opening for brunch today for beachside brunch. Not only is this the new summer hot spot, but the patio is dog friendly! There will even be a special “Dog Day” on October 3rd in celebration of National Adopt-A-Dog month! There will be a sweet treat on the patio for all pups that pop by!

About
