Promising review: "It’s been a lifesaver for cooling off the pups outside, especially in the heat, and it folds down flat so I can tuck it away without taking up space." —Shop with Alex

Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in sizes S–6XL and three colors). 

Promising review: "Could not be cuter! Worth every penny. Well-constructed. Good quality material. My baby looks adorable. Fast delivery." —T.L.C.

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in sizes XS–L, 19 colors, and packs of two).

Promising review: "Overall, it was a great hat. My ears slipped out of the ear holes from time to time, but the hat stayed on my head nicely even then. It kept the sun out of my eyes some, and kept me nice and cool after mom added water to it." —Amber

Get it from Chewy for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "It actually cools down!!!! And my dog loves it on hot days! He uses it all the time. I wish they made one for humans!!" —Daniela Velazquez

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "I looked at many cooling pads before deciding on this one. I like that it is washable. I also prefer this soft one compared to the heavy plastic/gel ones I've had in the past. The plastic/gel ones did not work (they seemed to absorb heat from everything around them, making them uncomfortable to the pet. This one has a soft feeling that they love." —Shannon

Get it from Walmart for $21.59+ (available in three sizes and colors).

Promising review: "Took our golden retriever puppy to the beach (after final shots) and it was awesome. We didn’t stay for too long, but long enough that he needed some water after playing in sand and surf. First time drinking out of a portable water container like this, and he had no issues. It holds enough to be useful, but not so much to be heavy and annoying. The container is wide enough that you could add ice for a hot day or to cool down water that has become warm. We will definitely be using this on our outings in the future." —Opinions, with receipts

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).

Promising review: "These are fantastic. Just clip them on the leash handle and bring a bottle of water with you when you go for long walks. I have a chocolate lagotto  romagnolo, and she has a thick dark coat, and she loves to go on long walks, but the Florida sun can get hot. We find a nice shady spot, and she will lie down and look at me to break out the water bowl. After a bowl or two, she is cooled off and ready to carry-on. It makes me feel better that I can give her a drink when she gets hot to help cool her down. You can open it to a small bowl or all the way for a larger bowl. Definitely a super buy for us!!!" —Frankie D

Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $3.97+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors).

Promising review: "These seem to be pretty comfortable for my dog — he wears them without complaint (mostly), and they stay on fairly securely. I bought them to protect his eyes from both the sun and potential road debris, since he likes to stick his head out the window when I'm driving. The lenses do scratch fairly easily, but the fit is really good, so that makes up for it." —MJ Paulson

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "These glasses fit my dog well. Others were too loose. She’s blind, and her eyes need to be protected from the sun. Her eyes would water all the time, but not since she got these glasses." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "These are really cool hot dogs in hot weather. We live in Florida, where it gets really hot in the summertime. I wet these jackets, then put them on the dogs in the summertime before we go out for a walk if I’ve gotten up past 8 a.m. As we have dogs with short faces and they get overheated very easily, these jackets really help keep them cool. However, I will say that they do get them wet, so be prepared to dry them off when they come back inside." —Shade Garden

Get it from Amazon for $32.95+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors).

Promising review: "Love this for my girl. It's a very soft material that fits her 22-inch neck and cools her off! With our heat, I wear one too!" —Rene

Get a 4-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and 24 color combos).

Promising review: "We’ve been loving these squeeze pouches as part of our dogs' daily routine! Each pouch has a generous amount of lickable treat that’s easy to store in the fridge and lasts a few days. I enjoy squeezing some into their kibble, spreading it on enrichment toys, or freezing it for hot days. What I love most about Choolip’s sticks is that they’re packed with vitamins, making them more purposeful than a typical treat. A fun addition to any dog’s routine!" —sammi

Get a 7-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 49).

Promising review: "I have a dog that loves to swim but has zero recall skills. This product allows us to enjoy the water and gives her the freedom to play. Other ropes and leads we’ve used have absorbed water and become quite heavy and cumbersome. This product really floats and prevents tangles as my dog swims. It barely absorbs water, allowing us to wind up the rope quickly and finish the hike dry and ready for next time. If I had one wish, I wish it had a more substantial snap, but otherwise I give it 10/10!" —KT

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "The ice cream mix is easy to prepare, just add water and stir. I didn't use a blender because of the small sample size, so my ice cream had some lumps, but I don't think my dog minded. On a hot summer day, the ice cream cools her belly!" —jhiramatsu

Promising review: "Started adding this electrolyte mix to my dog’s water after long hikes and summer walks, and it’s made a noticeable difference. She drinks more, stays hydrated, and seems to recover faster after intense play sessions. The powder dissolves easily and doesn’t leave residue in the bowl. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have artificial colors or weird smells — my dog is usually picky but drinks it right up. Definitely worth keeping on hand for active dogs or hot weather!" —Yang Qian

Promising review: "Works great! The dog says she feels ridiculous, but this would absolutely save her if she went overboard unintentionally. Works great when we are swimming in the deep and want her to come into the water with us and cool off." —Cypress

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors).

Promising review: "This life jacket is perfect for my doodle. We used it all summer, and he loves it. It helps him swim more easily, too. It’s super cute and good quality!" —Annie Castaneda

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors).

Promising review: "My dogs love this product. Especially on hot days! Great for chewing on. It’s durable enough for my lab! I think I’ll be ordering more of these!" —Love2shop

Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in a 2-pack). 

Promising review: "My new puppy loves playing in this. Especially since the heat index is over 100, this is a great way to cool off. I even walk through it myself to cool off while working in my yard. I have it on my deck with scrap carpet under it to protect the bottom. The company even provided instructions for use and protection. It comes with a repair patch as well." —Elizabeth A. Stegacu-Nelson

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven sizes).

Promising review: "Got this for my happy dog who loves to swim. It's light to throw into the lake or pool. It floats and is well-made. We've had other brands, but for some reason, my lab destroys them after a few days. This one has lasted all summer, and I can still use it for next year!" —chinnah

Get it from Amazon for $9.14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love these swimming balls just as much as my dogs do. They float and are perfect for the swimming pool. I can’t wait to try these balls at the beach. If you do not have this set yet, you need to buy it now!!" —Madilynn

Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This product is fantastic, a total game changer for your pets who enjoy the water. We used it all summer, and our Aussies had a blast. It made boating and lake life so much easier. Highly recommend! Product and customer service was 10/10." —Kerri Hospes

Get it from Amazon for $249.95+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I put this on my dog’s paw pads when walking in the summer. The stick makes it super easy to apply, and it seems to protect my buddy from pavement burns. Love it." —Tiffany H

Promising review: "My 45-pound dog does not mind these while we are active! If I were to leave them on her while unattended, I'm sure she would rip them off. Great for protecting paws from high heat in 100+ degree summers." —Kayla & Troy

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in nine sizes and colors).

Promising review: "I was so pleasantly surprised to find this float was even better than I expected. It is so sturdy and well-made. We have used this all summer long, and it still looks brand new!" —Cheryl King

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This float is hilarious and surprisingly durable. My pup loved it right away, and it kept her steady in the water without any issues. It’s also big enough for a few toys, which makes pool days way more fun. Definitely worth it if your dog likes to chill in the pool." —Sam

Get it from Amazon for $36.39+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "My furry friend LOVES lounging on this indoor and outdoor hammock. It keeps him cool with the breathable mesh and gets him up off the floor. The frame is sturdy and has skid-resistant feet, too. This awesome cot allows my pup to live his best suite life! Woof!" —Mark Anthony 

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "We got this to protect our dogs' shaved back post-surgery. Thanks to this product, she was able to enjoy sunny walks without worrying about sunburn. Easy to apply and smells awesome." —Brigid

Promising review: "Bought this hat for my lab mix fur baby. Originally ordered a large one, but it was too small. The XL fits perfectly — he weighs about 60 pounds, for reference. He wore his hat all day while we were fishing. It seems to be a great quality and did its job at keeping the sun out of his eyes. I’m happy with this purchase!" —Harriet Simmons

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
