Kelby, welcome to the list and congrats to you and Elvis. You might try giving your dog ice to eat and staying in the shade. I had a friend who actually had her golden retriever clipped. The dog sure did feel strange, but she was a lot cooler.

Oregon is significantly cooler than where I live in the summer and I don't want to overstress my dog.  The school gave me a set amount of water (3 cups) to offer Elvis at each watering.  Is giving more water ever advisable in this situation? Thanks!
