Caring for your dog in hot weather
The summer sun has finally got his hat on! And while we can stretch out and soak up the rays, our dogs may not be so keen. Heat stroke in a dog is a real and dangerous thing – read about heat stroke in dogs from the RSPCA. So we have compiled a list of ways to help your best friend stay cool and happy when the temperature rises.- Walk early or late
Avoid walking your dog in the hottest part of the day – early mornings and evenings will be much more comfortable for you both. - Set an easy pace
Even if your dog loves a good run, they need some encouragement to take it slow on hot days. They can’t plan ahead so they won’t realise they might get too hot. Encourage them to slow down by setting a slower pace and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. - Hot pavements and roads
Be aware that pavements and roads can become so hot they can burn your dog’s paw pads. Check the temperature of the road and pavements before you take your dog for a walk. - Keep to shady areas
Plan your walks and try to include places where there is shade and natural paths. - Short and sweet
Try taking two or three short walks throughout the day, instead of one long one. - New exercises
If it’s too hot for long walks, do a shorter one and mix up your dog’s exercise with some extra training or playtime in the shade. It’ll keep them occupied and active but you can take regular breaks so they don’t overheat. - Keep hydrated
It’s important that your dog drinks enough in hot weather so they don’t get dehydrated. Take a look at our tips on helping them keep up their fluids. - Stick to the shade
Does your dog love to spend time in the garden? Make sure they have a shady spot to lounge in. Trees and shrubs create natural shade but you can also hang a tarpaulin or put up a gazebo to give your dog somewhere cool to mooch about. - A paddling pool for paws
A shallow paddling pool or washing up bowl filled with cool water can give your dog a chance to cool off their paws. Keep a close eye on them around water to make sure they’re safe. - Create a cool room
Some dogs will seek out a tiled floor on hot days as they’re nice and cool to lie down on. You could also set up a fan for them or an area with some cool, damp towels for your dog to lie on. - Ice packs and cool pads
You may be able to buy cooling beds and mats from your local pet shop for your dog to lie on. If you can’t find them, an alternative is to wrap ice packs in a towel and pop that in your dog’s bed to cool it down.
Dog Kennel and Run – Alton Single
Suitable for back gardens, our single dog kennel and run is ideal for providing an outdoor home for your pet.
Our Alton single dog kennel and run is perfect for housing your dog in the garden. Leave the door open so that your dog can come in and out as he likes. He can have free reign of your outside space or take shelter if needed. Alternatively, keep your dog inside his outdoor kennel with the run door closed. Enclosing your dog gives you peace of mind that he will be safe. You can pop to the shops or go to work knowing that your dog can’t escape. Our Alton single dog kennel and run is available in different sizes with varying sized runs and kennel sleeping areas. You can find the best size and option to suit your dog depending on his breed and how long he will be housed in the kennel. We recommend purchasing the largest kennel that you can fit in the space you have available and what meets your budget. Your dog needs to have enough space to be able to turn around, stretch and toilet in the run. Our general rule is the longer your dog will be in his kennel at one time, the more space he will need. Feel free to give us a call for more details and advice – contact us here.

Combined Dog Kennel, Run and Storage Shed
Our latest products maximise space in your garden by having your dog kennel and shed combined as one unit. You can choose a single dog kennel and run, or two enclosures with an additional side shed. Use the shed as a garden storage room to house garden tools and equipment. Or utilise as a feed room to also store dog leads and bedding. Alternatively, you can upgrade the shed with our wipe clean package to create a whelping or isolation room. Our PVC lined insulation and phenolic coated flooring provide easy maintenance and anti-bacterial surfaces. If you own gun dogs, the wipe-clean side room could be used as a washroom to clean off your mucky dogs, store your boots and clean your guns.The two combined kennels and sheds are now available to purchase through our website. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between a single or duo kennel and run, both with the additional shed. Alternatively, get in touch for a bespoke build.

Bird Aviary for Alex
We were contacted to build a custom aviary for a lovely boy called Alex. Alex’s dad wanted a bespoke layout and sized enclosure to house Alex’s owl. It needed to have an open-fronted nest box along with a mesh security entrance.
Alex has a type of bone cancer that he is receiving treatment for in America. He has been through things that no child should ever have to worry about, however, he is inspiration for many. Alex continues to enjoy life to the full, having a passion for the outdoors and nature. He has a keen interest in animals of all kinds and our aviary is to house his pet owl. Find out more about Alexander’s Journey. You can also follow him on social media.
View the photos below of our aviary for Alex. You can also browse our standard range of bird aviaries, falconry housing and aviary blocks on our aviaries for sale page.
