Oh and to stop the other dogs laughing at you, Rover might prefer this solution

Plan B was to get a stroller.....just kidding

Cesar says doggies need boots in the summer...

We stick to the exercise your dogs early in the morning and late evenings method during the full on summer, during the day they just go in and out the house to the garden, sun bathe a bit and return inside to the cool air conditioning

For the love of god dont buy a doggie pram to push them around LOL

Nah wasn't planning on getting the stroller. The doggie has way too much energy and need her out burning it off.

@Proplus As a clueless new dog owner, do dogs wear these shoes in the summer when the pavement is too hot?

In certain parts of the middle east where it is even too hot to walk barefoot on thr beach, I never even saw one dog wear these. Of course, they were carried by the helper...

You get that with beagles.....too much energy. Try strapping them into a car seatbelt harness. They are an ingenius escape artist more than Houdini.

She hasn't figured out the seat belt but whines if she's alone in the back. She has learnt to open doors. We have to lock the room doors so she stays in the living room

Let them finish it and then you will fix it but not with wood huskies if no master around them they will be destroyer as my husky... And never use dog shoes. Cut their nails thats all they need.

You might want to consider having your floor polished. Will cost a few grand but will last for a year or two.

Sand down and revarnish the floors before you leave. Or lay down some carpet now.
