Keeping Cool
This is number one for pets during those hot summer days. Here are some essentials I got for both my cat and my brother's dog to help keep them cool as they both have a ton of hair.
I didn't realize until I got a Maine Coon cat that cat's actually prefer moving water. Marvin would often put his paw into his water bowl to try to move water around and get water everywhere.Then I researched that a water fountain would be a good inv...
Cat Water Fountain Stainless Steel 108oz
Always need replacements for the water fountain.Thankfully, this fountain has plenty of replacements for filters and in bulk.

Your furry friend will thank you for buying them this cooling mat. Especially pets that have a lot of fur! This will come in handy to keep them cool. It is a great purchase if you live in hot climates and / or during the summer when it gets hot. This...

Like the cooling mat I also listed, this will be a great item to purchase if you live in a warm climate or during the summer time. This cooling blanket is very cool and will keep your pet comfortable in cool.

We have been getting these Lasko fans for a while now. You actually don't have to replace them that often as they last a long time. Both my cat and my brother's dog approve.

Outdoors
Some great and fun outdoor items I have found very helpful.
This stoller is excellent! My cat (a Maine Coon) fits comfortably in this stroller. It is large and roomy. Enough room for him to sit and lay down comfortably. It is pretty easy to assemble as well. It comes in a few different colors to choose from.
Saudism Dog Stroller XL, Foldable, Blue
I added this cute dinosaur plush playmat to Marvin's stroller to give him a little extra comfort. It's a good fit for the stroller I bought him, which is also listed under this same category.
Baby Play Mat 36''x36'' Non Slip Dinosaur
This fan works great for when I decide to take Marvin outdoors to help keep him cool in his tent and / or his pet stroller.
Momcozy Portable Stroller Fan, 8000mAh, 27H
Maybe you have an indoor cat but still want to bring them outside or dog you want to keep outside but want to keep them contained in one area. This pop-up tent is perfect for small to large cats and small to medium dogs. It is very roomy, so they hav...

Hygiene
Got to keep your pets hygiene to a "T" during the summer months. Between the mud from the rain, having fun in the lake, being stinky from sweat, or even the unfortunate cut or wound from getting too curious. Here are some of my favorite finds to help...
Great pet shampoo, works great, and smells amazing
Fluff Off! Natural Deshedding Dog & Cat Shampoo
Great pet conditioner, works great, and smells amazing, just like the shampoo! Love this stuff!
Fluff Off! Natural Deshedding Conditioner 16oz
Another great alternative for keeping them clean without the hassle of giving them a bath.
Burt's Bees Waterless Cat Shampoo with Shea Butter
If you don't want the spray option, it also comes in the form of wipes. I have both.
Burt's Bees Cat Dander Remover Wipes
Cats can get dander like most humans, especially during season changes. This has helped Marvin with itching. I feel like most of the Burt's Bees products have a gentle formula, so it's not overpowering to make the issue worse.
Burt's Bees Pets Dander Reducing Cat Spray
These work as great towels when it comes time to bathe your pet. These are soft and help them dry off faster.
MOONQUEEN 2 Pack Quick Dry Microfiber Towels
Works well on wounds or cuts. Never know what they may get themselves into.
Zymox Vet Strength Topical Cream 1%
These pads also work well on wounds or cuts. Helps lightly clean the cut or wound.
Douxo S3 Pyo Pads 3% Chlorhexidine 0.5% Ophytrium
This has been a real help when it comes to grooming Marvin. He has a lot of thick yet fine fur, which can become easily tangled and knotted.
TropiClean Dog Detangler Spray Leave-in Conditioner
This brush/comb works great at getting light mats out of your pets fur. I just make sure I go slow to not pull too much.
Dematting Comb & Deshedding Tool for Cats & Dogs
Another great comb for grooming and removing knots!
Paws Pamper Pro Greyhound Comb for Pets
Great brush to help de-shed. I don't use this often, but another great alternative brush to have on hand if needed.
