One of the best things you can do for your kids and your pets during the summer months is to provide them with a way to cool off AT HOME. Even those who frequent the local pool will find that nothing beats the relaxation of your own backyard (plus, I don’t think pets are allowed at the pool…).
Today.com recommends that you “Make sure your pet has plenty of access to a shady area to rest when outdoors. During supervised playtime in the yard your pet might enjoy access to a child’s wading pool to cool off in.”
Take a look at the water toys, games, and pools below to help everyone cool off this summer:
Splash About Dog Pool
Our best-selling Guardian Gear Dog Pools are now available in three sizes. Dog pools are portable, easy to fill and empty and are made of extra-tough PVC for lasting use. Perfect for a refreshing dip in the backyard or on decks or patios. Pools fold down completely, making them easy to pack for summer vacations. Easy to store during the winter months.
Crocodile Isle Inflatable water Park with Dual Slides
Your kids can rappel up the climbing wall to reach a lookout platform where they can lounge about or zoom down the tail or the snout of the crocodile. Overhead sprayers rain down on each of these two curving slides for cool, wet fun as your kids zip down into the splash pool below. Add the optional play balls for even more fun. Kids have a blast and stay cool for hours as they climb, slide, race, and splash.
Banzai Shark Bite Water Slide
Can you escape the shark bite? This Banzai water slide will provide hours of fun in the sun as your children delight in sliding past the shark’s head without getting a “bite”! Includes shark bite water slide, water divider, 2 water tubes, 2 ground stakes, and 1 repair patch.
Design Alfresco Outdoor Drinking Fountain
The Dogit Design Alfresco Outdoor Drinking Fountain for Dogs adds an air of tranquility and relaxation to your patio, yard or deck. During the spring, summer and fall months the fountain provides a refreshing outdoor oasis for your thirsty pet; responding to his need for a continuous supply of fresh, clean drinking water, while making a delightful addition to your outdoor living space. When the colder weather arrives, move the fountain indoors, where its clean lines and contemporary shape allow it to seamlessly blend with any modern home decor setting. The Dogit Design Alfresco Outdoor Drinking Fountain is elevated to provide a better ergonomic drinking position, and is illuminated with an energy-efficient LED light to better help with night-time visibility. Encouraging your pet to drink more water helps ensure proper kidney function.
