Things You'll Need
- Dog crate
- Cotton sheet (optional)
- Fan (optional)
- Internet access (optional)
Instructions
Place the crate in a location of your home where it can come into direct contact with a cool breeze. This will not be necessary during the winter months. Acceptable locations could include the base of an open window or in front of a drafty door.
Remove any coverings that may be over the outside of the crate to allow for maximum airflow in and through the crate. Remove any heavy bedding or blankets in the crate. Replace the covering of the crate with a breathable material, such as small cotton sheet.
Install a dog crate fan, which you can find at retail pet stores or on the Internet. Provide your dog with a water bottle with fresh water attached to the outside of the crate door, with the spigot facing the inside of the crate.
