Understanding how your pets' bodies regulate their temperature is super important and having these tools on hand will help your pets be more comfortable in the heat. Heat and humidity management are essential for all cats and dogs to make sure they stay safe and happy!

I do a lot of pet sitting. Before I collected my essentials, I was bringing my clothes along in reusable grocery bags because that's all I had! 😂😂Tragic, I know.
