I wanted to meet any GSD owners here in Texas smile or any other hot climate... Any tips on keeping my pup cool during the day while I'm at work?
I would leave him inside but he's gonna be a big boy and I don't like the idea of him being kenneled...
Any thoughts?

Much Thanks!

The first thing you should get, is a baby pool, keep it under a shade tree, and full of water,,,dog will go in and get front legs wet, that is where they cool off,,,,never ever, get dog totally wet, and hot, then kennel up, the water off the coat, turns into steam and can overheat dog quickly,,,,,he could die...so only wet, front feet, and maybe some of chest, if you have to cool dog off yourself.
You can also look at petedge, for cooling mats.
