What Should Dogs Eat In Summer?

Your dog needs more food when the temperature rises. Find out how to change up your pet's summer routine with cool foods, holistic care, and smart cleaning supplies. Making smart choices is the first step to good health.

Summer Is a Time to Think About Making Changes

When the summer sun is intense, and the air is warm, you should pay more attention to your dog's health. It's not just about what dogs should eat in the summer; it's also about living a more thoughtful, balanced life, where every bite and bath speaks of care, comfort, and quiet joy. At Mo and Bear, we're enjoying the change of seasons by telling pet owners to enjoy the beauty of thoughtful practices. Summer is more than just a change in the weather; it's a chance to make sure your dog is healthy, happy, and gets along with others.

Light Meals for A Light Life

Because it's hot outside, you need food that feeds, hydrates, and cools you down. Dogs also need foods that help their bodies deal with heat, just like people do. For example, humans like crisp veggies, cool drinks, and lighter meals. Too heavy or too rich of a diet can make dogs tired and uncomfortable. Choose meals that are fresher and have more wetness instead. One easy way to make a switch that feels good is to eat lean meats like chicken or turkey with steamed veggies like green beans or carrots. These ingredients make it easier for your dog to digest, but they also help them keep their weight and energy up when outside, which can be hard when it's hot.

It's Not Just Water That Keeps You Hydrated

Another essential part of summer health is staying hydrated. In hot weather, dogs lose water quickly, especially if they are busy or spend much time outside. Even though water bowls are essential, you can keep them hydrated by giving them food. Here are some ideas for cold broths, fruits high in water (like watermelon or cucumber) but never seeds, and frozen treats made with yogurt or blended fruits that are good for dogs. These natural treats are suitable for your dog's health and are fun and exciting ways to show that you care about their well-being.

Beautiful, Clean, And Cool

But there's more than just a plate to feed your dog well in the summer. Every part of their care, especially grooming, should be done with the same careful energy. If you have sensitive skin, heat and humidity can make it itch, dry out, or give your clothes that musty dog smell. That's where careful, all-around grooming comes in. Shampoos like Happy Life waterless shampoo let you clean your hair coolly without having to bathe. This shampoo cleans, soothes, and conditions the skin while hydrating the hair. It's great for travel or quick freshening up. Your dog will be clean, comfortable, and ready for summer.

Getting Food Through Grooming

The Happy Life pet shampoo and conditioner are great for days when your dog needs a deeper clean, like after a dusty walk or a play in the grass. This pair was carefully made to clean without removing the natural oils that protect your dog's skin. The conditioner adds softness and moisture that the hot air can take away. Your dog's coat will not only look clean and shiny, but it will also show how much you care about their comfort.

The Natural Way to Calm Skin

Skin health is also essential for summer health. Dust, pollen, and even chemicals in the pool can irritate your dog's skin and make it itch or have flare-ups. The Happy Life pet neem soap is lovely when you clean your pet in the summer. Neem, which is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, is mixed into it. This helps soothe the skin, keep bugs away, and restore balance to itchy areas. You're giving your dog more than just a clean coat. You are giving pet relief, peace, and a return to health, which is very good for them.

Traditions That Show a Balanced Life

A lovingly planned summer routine does more than meet basic needs; it also promotes peace, happiness, and connection. A dog that is well-fed, groomed gently, and cared for on purpose shows that the owner values peace in their life. At Mo and Bear, we don't see these things—choosing what to eat, cleaning routines, and sunny morning walks—as chores. We see them as beautiful ways to show love. Everyone allows you to stop and think, "How can I make this better for both of us?"

Living With Thought Starts with You

That's the essence of life with care. This is why we choose happy life events over products. Why do we think that feeding your dog in the summer isn't just about keeping them from getting heatstroke or changing the amount they eat—it's about taking care of their soul in every way. When you feed your pet fabulous foods that give them energy without being too much, and when you choose shampoos that are clean without soothing, you invite your pet into a life that matches your goals for balance, ease, and mindful joy.

How Mo and Bear Can Help You Have a Great Summer

Feel free to write about cool breezes, naps in the sun, and loving care that doesn't end with the season. Your dog will let you know that they feel the difference with every wag, lick, and calm sigh after a healthy meal or a nice bath. They know how much you love them.
