<div><p>The days are getting longer and warmer, and you know what that means: your dog is getting bored! We all know that kids hate being cooped inside as soon as the school year ends, but our pets feel exactly the same way. Dogs must have some kind of sixth sense, because they <strong>know</strong> when we have free time, and they demand to make the most of it.</p><p>Maybe your pup likes to stay at home with the AC turned on, but these dogs love to leave the house and live life to the fullest while the weather is nice.</p><p></p><p><strong>1.

Bring along extra water for your four-legged friend, and treat them to a <a href="https://www.shared.com/keep-your-fur-babies-cool-this-summer-with-these-frozen-treats/">dog-safe frozen snack</a> once you get home. </p><p>It's also important to keep your pet safe from <a href="https://www.shared.com/experts-warn-more-dogs-are-catching-hard-pad-disease-heres-how-to-protect-your-pet-2/">nasty diseases</a> this summer.</p><p>If you're out in any wooded areas, check your dog for tick bites when you get home. And remember to keep your distance from any wild animals, because just getting close to them could make your pet sick.</p><p></p><p><strong>7.
