Since summer has arrived, it is important to know how to care for your Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle in the heat. Here are a few of the most important tips for managing your pooch this summer:

1. Always have fresh, clean water available. Your dog needs to stay hydrated too, even if this means you carry around a water dish, water bottle or a water rover.

2. Do not leave your dog in the car unattended at any time, unless you choose to leave the air conditioning running. You know how hot it gets in the car while sitting under the sun…

3. Provide shade for your Australian Labradoodle. Have a place for them to escape from the sun at all times.

4. Do not tether your dog outside while unattended. They may find themselves wrapped around the tether and stuck under the beating sun without shade.

5. Avoid activity during the middle of the day with your dog. Try to schedule their time outside to be in the morning or afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the days.

6. This tip goes in hand with #5, avoid walking your dog on pavement, asphalt or gravel during the hottest part of the day. Be conscious of the surface they’re walking on and its temperature as burnt puppy pads are quite painful. You wouldn’t want to walk on hot pavement either…

7. Do you have a chocolate or a black Australian Labradoodle? These colors will attract heat faster than others, so keep this in mind while watching your dogs comfort and temperature in the sun.

We hope you can find these tips helpful while enjoying the summer days to come with your Manor Lake Australian Labradoodle!

With Mother’s Day just around the corner we would like to dedicate this post to our wonderful mothers at Manor Lake. Each of our moms are loyal in the care and nurturing in their puppies and we could not do it without them!

SnugglePuppies™, with a new and improved heartbeat, will capture your pet’s heart! All ages of animals love our adorable SnugglePuppie™ because they connect with the “real feel” heart beat and gentle warmth. Remember that children and seniors love to cuddle them too! Heart beat with batteries and two types of heat included.

We like Snuggle puppies at Manor Lake because they can make our Australian Labradoodle puppies more comfortable when they are transitioning to their new homes.  The young puppies really like the heart beat and warmth of the SnugglePuppy, it reminds them of their litter mates and mother and comforts them through this separation.

We carry the Snuggle Puppy in our Manor Lake Dog Boutique, check them out!

Here is a fun shot of our assistant Erin with our handsome stud boy, Cosmo, on the Washington Coast! Cosmo had a blast playing in the waves and really enjoyed the open sandy beaches to play on.

My oh my, look how Manor Lake Milo has grown up to be a handsome and lovely guy!
