Summer is in full swing, and while it’s a time for outdoor adventures and fun in the sun, it’s essential to prioritize our dachshund’s safety in the heat. Bella, my adventurous doxie, loves nothing more than exploring the great outdoors, but I always make sure she has the right gear to stay safe and comfortable in the summer heat. Let’s dive into some essential summer safety gear for dachshunds that every pet parent should consider.
1. Cooling Mats
Description:
Cooling mats are a lifesaver on hot summer days. These mats are designed to absorb and dissipate heat from your dachshund’s body, providing a cool surface for them to relax on.
Bella’s Take:
Bella absolutely loves her cooling mat. Whether we’re lounging on the patio or taking a break during a hike, she always seeks out her mat for a refreshing rest. It’s like her own personal oasis in the heat!
2. Collapsible Water Bowls
Description:
Collapsible water bowls are compact, portable, and perfect for keeping your dachshund hydrated on the go. They can easily be folded up and tucked into your bag or attached to your leash for convenient access.
Bella’s Take:
As an active pup, Bella is always on the move, and her collapsible water bowl goes everywhere with us. It’s great for long walks, hikes, and road trips, ensuring she stays hydrated no matter where our adventures take us.
3. Life Jackets for Swimming
Description:
Life jackets are essential safety gear for dachshunds who love to swim. Their unique body shape makes them prone to sinking, so a well-fitted life jacket can provide buoyancy and peace of mind during water activities.
Bella’s Take:
While Bella isn’t the biggest fan of swimming, she enjoys wading in shallow waters. Her life jacket gives me peace of mind knowing she’s safe, especially when we’re near lakes or rivers with strong currents.

4. Portable Shade Tents
Description:
Portable shade tents are lightweight, easy to set up, and provide instant relief from the sun. They’re perfect for picnics, beach days, or any outdoor adventure where shade may be limited.
Bella’s Take:
Bella loves exploring new places, but the summer sun can be intense. Her portable shade tent gives her a cozy retreat wherever we go, whether we’re camping in the mountains or relaxing at the beach.
5. Paw Protection
Description:
Paw protection is essential for dachshunds, especially on hot pavement or sand. Booties or paw wax can protect their sensitive paw pads from burns and injuries.
Bella’s Take:
Bella’s paws are her prized possessions, so I always make sure to protect them during our summer outings. Booties are great for longer walks or hikes, while paw wax provides a protective barrier against hot surfaces.
6. Sunscreen for Dogs
Description:
Just like humans, dogs can get sunburned, especially those with short hair or light-colored coats. Dog-friendly sunscreen can protect your dachshund’s skin from harmful UV rays.
Bella’s Take:
Bella’s short coat leaves her vulnerable to sunburn, so I make sure to apply sunscreen to her exposed areas, such as her ears, nose, and belly, before heading outdoors. It’s an essential step in her summer safety routine.
7. Tick and Flea Prevention
Description:
Ticks and fleas are more prevalent in the summer months, posing a threat to your dachshund’s health. Using tick and flea prevention products can help keep these pests at bay.
Bella’s Take:
As much as Bella loves exploring nature, I know that ticks and fleas are a potential hazard. That’s why I always stay up-to-date with her tick and flea prevention treatments to keep her safe and itch-free all summer long.
Final Thoughts
Summer safety gear is essential for keeping our dachshunds safe and comfortable in the heat. From cooling mats and collapsible water bowls to life jackets and portable shade tents, these products can make all the difference in ensuring our furry friends have a fun and safe summer season.
Remember to always prioritize your dachshund’s well-being when planning outdoor activities, and invest in the right gear to keep them protected from the summer heat. With the right safety gear and a little extra care, you and your dachshund can enjoy all the joys of summer without any worries. Bella and I wish you a safe and adventurous summer ahead!
