Help your dog stay cool in the dog days

Just like us, dogs can suffer from dehydration and heat exhaustion. They do their best to stay cool by panting, but since they can't exactly sweat, it's tough for them to beat the heat.
There are all kinds of contraptions on the market that use space-age polymer technology and old fashioned evaporation to help you do right by your best friend. From cooling vests to crate fans, to simple travel water bowls, it's easy to keep your pet cool. And that makes you cool, too.

That last thing looks really cool, but I wonder how messy it is ... probably best for outside. And the cooling vest is a neat idea, but I don't think my pooches would accept it. I picture them doing a sort of watermelon crawl, like a cat who's all wet and slinking across the floor ... And, while I like the little pool thing, I think I might just get a kiddie pool for them this summer. Not as stylish, I know, but it does what it needs to do!
