Home Without Air Conditioning?

YIKES! Your air conditioning system broke and it's getting hot!

If your A/C broke, you are well aware of how quickly your home heats up. Please remember, your Miniature Schnauzer will not do well with the heat. Check out the tips below on:
'How to Keep Your Miniature Schnauzer Dog Cool Without Air Condition'




Keep it Cool Tips


13 tips to help 'Keep You & Your Mini Schnauzer Cool' until the A/C repair man comes:

  1. Make sure you have lots of fresh cool water available so your Miniature Schnauzer can keep himself hydrated.

  2. When you go in and out of the house - shut the door behind you right away so no further cool air escapes your home.

  3. Keep your window blinds turned down. This will help keep room temperatures at their coolest.

  4. Keep all floor fans and ceiling fans on constantly. It may not be cold air conditioning, but the continuous flow of air circulating your home will help keep things cooler .

  5. A cool-it mat will help regulate your Schnauzer's body temperature. If you don't have one, or can't buy one right now, here's a way to substitute:
    • Soak a large bath towel in cool water.
    • Ring it out and place down on a tile or vinyl floor. If you prefer, 1st put down a large plastic bag (like a garbage bag) and then put the wet towel on top of it.

  6. If you don't want to prepare a large towel (as mentioned above) for your Miniature Schnauzer to lay on, use a very damp wash cloth and lightly wipe your Schnauzer's underbody and inner thighs to help cool him off.

  7. A quick bath (without soap) - Just wet him down. It's a great quick way to cool your Miniature Schnauzer down when you have no air conditioning.

  8. Don't over exercise or play too much with your Schnauzer right now. Allow your dog to just rest and relax. No need over heating your dog further with any type exercise.

  9. Prepare a cool dog treat, like our Miniature Schnauzer Pup-sicles.

  10. If you live in a two-story home stay downstairs. Because warm air is less dense than cool air, the warm air will rise, leaving your home feeling much cooler downstairs. And if you have a basement, let your Miniature Schnauzer go down there, as it will be even cooler.

  11. Try not to use heat producing appliances like the stove, oven, dishwasher, clothes dryer, etc... while your air condition is on the blink. Either make sandwiches, get take out, or use the microwave. Wash dishes by hand, and also turn off as many lamps, as possible.

  12. In the evening if temperatures dip into the low 70's, that would be a good time to open a few windows and let some cool air inside. Just remember to close all windows as soon as the sun rises the next morning.

  13. If you are going to be without air conditioning for an extended period of time, you might want to familiarize yourself with the warning signs of a heat stroke and other Miniature Schnauzer Summer Care Dog Tips.
