UK Heatwave: How One Dog Is Staying Cool With a Backyard Pool

As temperatures continue to soar across the UK, pet owners are finding creative ways to help their furry friends beat the heat. One such owner, known as Costa & Ell, shared their 'pool day' routine for their dog, Costa, highlighting the simple joy a paddling pool can bring. The video shows Costa's excitement as his owner cleans and fills a small plastic pool, eagerly splashing and retrieving toys. "Costa is obsessed with the hose," the owner narrated, emphasizing his love for water. The owner noted that plastic pools are more durable for dogs prone to chewing. This initiative not only provides a fun way for pets to cool down but also encourages hydration during the ongoing heatwave, as Costa was seen drinking from the pool. Pet safety during extreme weather remains a crucial concern, and simple measures like providing access to water and shade are vital.
