Hello from DallasDogLife!
Not to state the obvious, but it's HOT out there! This newsletter, as well as most of the newsletters in the next few months, will have tips and articles about keeping your dog cool and safe during the hot Texas summer. Every year, hundreds of dogs die from heat exhaustion from being outside with no water or shade or being locked in a hot car. DallasDogLife.com pledges to try to reduce the number of heat-related dog deaths in DFW this year by educating its readers and providing practical ways for you all to make a difference yourselves. We can do it!
Featured Review: Chilly Dawgs Frozen Treats

When the temperatures reach the levels they have been in the DFW metroplex lately, everyone starts looking for ways to cool down. On a warm summer day, a frozen treat is a welcome relief from the heat - and now your dog can enjoy a treat made especially for him! Chilly Dawgs are pudding-filled chew bones that are kept frozen until your pup is ready to enjoy them. Read the entire review here.
