There are so many fun ways to fill our summer, but if we don’t plan things and get started, the warmth and sunshine can slip by before we know it. To help you and your dog make the most of the season, we have compiled a (still growing) list of summer activities.

Hiking is a favorite activity of ours. Once you have armed your dog with a checkup and vaccinations from your veterinarian, get out and hit those trails.

Camping is a great way to get quality time far from the distractions of everyday life.

Frisbee is fun and exercise you can enjoy anywhere with your dog.

Learning Tricks will help your dog break the ice for you at summer BBQs.

Swimming is a great skill to practice and a whole lot of fun. Ask your vet about swimming health and safety.

Family vacations can include the furriest member of the family, too. Be sure to research pet-friendly options as you plan your trip.

Canoeing is another great way to celebrate your dog’s love of the water.

Gardening makes for a calm summer morning. Your dog will love hanging around while you check on your veggies. Ask your vet about what plants you should keep out of Fluffy’s reach.

Nap with your dog to take a well-earned rest after so much summer activity!

Charity dog walks help you meet other pet lovers while supporting a good cause. Find out what’s happening in your area.

Play in the sprinklers to cool off after a nice summer walk.

Watch the sunset as you look back on another joyous summer day.

The sun also rises. Get up early before your next activity and watch the day begin with a best buddy by your side.

Have a fun and healthy season making every summer day a dog day!
