Oh boy, the Northern Virginia summer is here in full swing. Temperatures climb to the upper '90s and register in the 100s with the humidity pushing up the heat index.
That makes it difficult to walk your dogs as you've done in the past. Dogs don't perspire like we do; they shed their excess body heat through panting.
Do yourself and your dogs a favor and limit their walks to just the bare minimum. Your dogs are pretty smart. When it's hot and humid, I've noticed that the dogs that I walk do their business quickly in order to get back inside to the air conditioning.
Upon returning, freshen their water and monitor it often. You don't want to run out of water for your pet.
