Our Summer Heat Routine for Sami: Hot Pavement, Puppy Cuts & Frozen Broth Cubes

Summer is ending and we have been traveling for the past month with Sami. We went on a road trip and we have spent the past few weeks in France, enjoying good coffee, morning croissants and dog-friendly places everywhere we go. Sami is happy to explore new cities with us and he is very loved by everyone who meets him ❤️ He even made new dog friends that we meet every day at the park!

But the heat waves we’ve had while being here have made us go back to a conversation that Bobby and I keep having every year: "How We Keep Sami Cool in Summer: Heat Stroke Signs Every Dog Owner Should Know" 🎙️

In this new episode from our podcast, we get into the puppy cut vs. the classic Westie cut (and why we go short every summer), the tongue-out scale that actually tells you how overheated your dog is, and the hard lesson we learned when Sami's paws got burned on hot pavement… which ended with us buying dog shoes for him, that he now wears whenever it gets too hot to walk.

Other things we talk about? Our go-to hydration trick with frozen broth cubes (yum!), why we never put him in a car that hasn't been pre-cooled, and how we handle hotel stays so he's safe when we leave him alone in the room.

If you've got a dog and it's still hot where you are, this one is worth a listen before your next walk!

New episodes drop regularly. Watch the video on YouTube and let us know, what are some tips you use to keep your pup cool in summer? ✨ We would love to hear from you!

👉 Also, if you are looking for a unique gift for yourself (or another dog parent), turn your dog into an illustrated storybook hero with Basmino!

Until next time!

Miruna & Sami ❤️ 🐾
