Always keep a close eye on your Yorkie and the temperature, and be ready to assist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vets-now.com\/summer\/when-is-it-too-hot-to-walk-a-dog\/#:~:text=It's%20generally%20safe%20in%20temperatures,not%20caused%20by%20a%20fever.\"><strong>Vets-Now Extra Info<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9 Tips To Keep Yorkies Cool In Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s run through 9 great ways to keep Yorkies cool in summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Elevated cooling beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They sound fancy, but they aren&rsquo;t! One of our favorite ways to keep our dogs cool in summer is to get out the elevated beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These beds are lightweight, usually made from aluminum, and are 6-10 Inches off the ground. The bed material is perforated, similar to trampolines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This breathable material allows your Yorkie to expel heat from their underbelly while laying down.<\/strong> The breeze whisps underneath and does an excellent job of lowering their average body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background\"><strong>Check it out &gt;&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AmazonBasics-Elevated-Cooling-Pet-Grey\/dp\/B076VXVB2L?keywords=cooling+bed+dog&amp;qid=1660542586&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQzJBNTRVOURGMTUxJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDEwMTIxNUVSNjlRQVpJRjFVJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4MDc5NzNEVzBSQ1dCTllRME4md2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=puphelp-20&amp;linkId=eb991248e8260186db37f9e646567ac7&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\">Our favorite cooling bed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Avoid hot walking surfaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot walking surfaces are a dog&rsquo;s worst nightmare. And unfortunately, it&rsquo;s something we owners forget about more than we should&hellip;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Yorkie&rsquo;s first point of contact with the ground is their paws,<\/strong> which can easily get burnt on hot concrete or even certain types of wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is this very painful and will likely result in a trip to the vets, it can also keep your dog feeling extra hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A good rule is that if it&rsquo;s too hot for your hand, it&rsquo;s too hot for a Yorkie&rsquo;s paws.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Exercise at the right time of day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yorkies need their daily exercise even if the temperatures get toasty. But we must exercise them at the right time of day to avoid dehydration or heatstroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s best to walk your Yorkie early morning or late evening while avoiding the midday sun completely. <em>Early morning is usually lower in temperature, so this is preferable!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking your Yorkie during this time will allow you to keep them fit without being concerned about the temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepuppymag.com\/why-is-my-yorkie-panting-so-much\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"20129\">Yorkie Panting &amp; Fast Breathing: What&rsquo;s Normal?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Discourage sunbathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as Yorkies love to sunbathe, it should be discouraged. Too much exposure to direct sunshine increases the chances of dehydration, heatstroke, and general sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can encourage your Yorkie to lay in the shade with basic positive reinforcement techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid praising your Yorkie when in the sun, but whenever they&rsquo;re in the shade, capitalize on this by praising and even giving them their favorite treat. <em>Repeat consistently.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would be surprised just how clever Yorkies are! They will soon associate laying in the shaded cool spots with positivity (tasty treats!) and will opt to lay there more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Keep a cool room available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping one room in the home that&rsquo;s lower than 20C (70F) will put an end to all discomfort throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Yorkie feels too hot, they can retreat to this room. And for those days where it&rsquo;s just way too hot, we can put our Yorkies in the room ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have AC, then this is easily achieved, but if you don&rsquo;t, then the use of UV blinds on the windows to reflect heat as well as a few fans should do the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a room like this that your Yorkie can access whenever they need to is a game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Frozen treats!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A fun way to keep Yorkies cool in summer is to offer them some frozen treats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infused ice cubes are a great idea to provide some relief from high temperatures, plus it&rsquo;s a way to keep your Yorkie hydrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop some banana or even meat broth in the next batch of ice cubes you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also freeze whole bananas or large whole carrots for some DIY chews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Keep your Yorkie hydrated!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dogs don&rsquo;t drink as much as they should, yet, being well-hydrated is key to efficiently regulating body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as your Yorkie becomes dehydrated, it becomes much harder for them to tolerate hot temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place more water bowls around the house and outside, and always keep the water fresh and topped up. This will encourage further drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, you can also try popping a few ice cubes into their water bowl to encourage further drinking (and some fun!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Damp towels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re having a yard day of course, you&rsquo;ll want to have your Yorkie among the fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to keep them cool while laying down (aside from cooling beds) is to place a few damp towels on the floor in the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, damp towels might not be appealing, so the use of some tasty treats may be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&rsquo;s particularly hot, this is a great way to keep your Yorkie safe and cool while outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Doggy paddling pool!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to keep your Yorkie cool and entertained is to get a shallow paddling pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to opt for a deeper paddling pool, then it&rsquo;s important to practice swimming and always place a doggy lifejacket on your Yorkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, this is a great way to keep your Yorkie stimulated and cool simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ALLADINBOX-Foldable-Diameter-Collapsible-Portable\/dp\/B08QSLKNP1?keywords=paddling+pool+dogs&amp;qid=1660546149&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFETEFaUUpCVzVMRzImZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxNDE5MjYyV0NLUkZQN0tYU1NKJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNjM0NDk5VUNMRlROQlNLNTQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=puphelp-20&amp;linkId=ccffab1b5830b3e265abf590edfdb4ad&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\">Our favorite doggy paddling pool<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/X-Small-Jacket-Outward-Hound-Granby\/dp\/B0081XILX6?crid=3VW27TZ08A9WL&amp;keywords=dog+life+jacket&amp;qid=1660546180&amp;sprefix=paddling+pool+dogs%2Caps%2C918&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUTZEMTRDUlVOWEs3JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDM5NTYwMTJWT0lCOU1URDlJUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTc5MDQxMlBOQTBUVDI2RkNaNiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU%3D&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=puphelp-20&amp;linkId=12921d10743ed391d5bb7942bdbe22a9&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\">Our favorite doggy lifejacket <\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Yorkies Live In Hot Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yorkies can live in hot countries and climates.
