Their own house

The dog house is making a comeback with a 21st -century twist.

Raised Cots

While in the backyard you like to relax on a comfy lawn chair or recliner so why not treat your pet to the same luxury. A Gen7Pets Cool-Air Cot Bed allows smart air-flow comfort in keeping your pet comfortable and off muddy, wet, or hot grounds.

 

Pool Party!

Many dogs love to play, splash, and swim in cool water to refresh, including small dogs! Add a dog-sized pool in your backyard for ultimate brownie points. Whether you get the cheap pool from your local grocery store or an animal-specific pool place it on a level surface and make sure it doesn’t have any sharp edges. Many dogs just like to plop down so make sure it is big enough to lay down.

The best place to play fetch is in the backyard! Grab a Chuckit Hydrosqueeze Bumper and get to throwing! The Hydrosqueeze line holds in water and releases hen your dog fetches for a refreshing way to play in the hot summer months! If your dog isn’t a fetcher, try creating an agility obstacle course filled with jumps, ramps, and tunnels. As always make sure these are animal appropriate and have no sharp edges.

 

The backyard is already a haven for most dogs but take it up a notch and make it the ultimate relaxation station for your four-legged family member.
