<p>We have a black dog, and we can't really take him out hiking in the heat and sun because he can't cool down fast enough. How do you keep your dog cool when it's hot out and you're away from water?</p> <p>For example, we took our dog to Writing-on-stone Provincial Park, and he didn't last for more than a couple minutes in the hoodoos where it got up to 40 degrees celcius:</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/laC58.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/laC58.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p>We had to retreat to the river and walk in the water so he could stay cool.</p>
