For days where it is very hot, you do want to avoid taking your dog for a walk at the hottest parts of the day (mid-day) especially on paved areas as your dog's feet can get burned. They do sell dog booties that you can put on your dog's feet to help protect them. There are many different companies that make these, one example is https://www.amazon.com/HiPaw-Breathable-Dual-Boots-Protector/dp/B01HS2M7FI/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1496836452&sr=1-7&keywords=dog+boots. If she has no skin/coat issues, just a gentle oatmeal shampoo is fine for bathing when needed. Most dogs do not need frequent bathing unless they are getting very dirty and bathing too often can dry their skin out. I wouldn't bathe more than every other week unless needed. You can follow this with a creme rinse. I like https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Epi-Soothe-Shampoo-8-oz/dp/B002CZHYPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496836697&sr=8-1&keywords=virbac+episoothe+shampoo and https://www.amazon.com/Epi-Soothe-Cream-Ri

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco! Yes, bananas are a good treat and are safe to give. This is a potassium rich fruit that is a good alternative to the traditional dog treats that you get from the store. Bananas are high in fiber, which can help with gastrointestinal problems and magnesium which helps promote bone growth and helps the body produce protein and absorb vitamins.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Bananas are not toxic to dogs, but a dog eating anything out of the ordinary has the potential to cause GI upset. Dogs and their intestines are used to consistency, so if a new type of food is introduced, there is always a risk of GI upset, likely only mild in nature. Watermelon is also non-toxic, but should NEVER be given to a dog with the rind attached. Eating the rind puts your dog at risk of a gastrointestinal obstruction, or a blockage of their intestines, which is a surgical emergency. I hope this is helpful!

Bananas are ok for dogs to eat, not sure the banana peel will be easy to digest though. Keep an eye on Jax to make sure he doesn't stop eating or develop a stomach ache. Jax should be fine if he chewed up the banana peel, if not he could develop an intestinal obstruction. As long as he's eating, drinking and pooping normally there is nothing to be worried about. If he should start vomiting, not eating or straining to poop then please take him in right away for an exam and X-ray. Sometimes large things are not able to pass through and they need to be surgically removed. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Jax.
