First, the Scary Truth Every Dog Parent Needs to Know About Summer… 

Did you know that 85–90°F temperatures can overheat a dog in just minutes? It’s true. And if you’ve noticed your beloved pup: 

Panting excessively (even indoors) 

Becoming lethargic or refusing walks 

Drinking water constantly 

Getting more anxious or destructive 

Losing interest in toys and activities

…then your dog could be showing early signs of heat stress. 

Vets Sound the Alarm

4 Hidden Dangers from Vets

Danger #1

Dogs Can’t Cool Down Like Humans

Dogs don’t sweat through their skin. 

Panting alone isn’t enough when temperatures soar. 

Brachycephalic breeds (bulldogs, pugs, frenchies) are at greater risk—their shortened airways make cooling even more difficult. 

Danger #2

Summer = Less Mental Stimulation

When it’s too hot for walks, fetch, or park visits: 

Your dog gets BORED. 

And bored dogs become anxious, destructive dogs. Say hello to chewed furniture, excessive barking, and stress behaviors. 

Danger #3

Heatstroke Happens FAST

A dog’s normal temp is 101-102.5°F. 

At just 104°F, organ damage begins. 

That’s only a two-degree difference! Even five minutes in a hot yard can push dogs into the danger zone.

Danger #4

Dehydration Spirals

Dogs need 1 oz. of water per pound of body weight daily. 

In summer? Double that. 

But most dogs don’t drink enough, leading to kidney issues, UTIs, and worse.

Answers to Your Burning Questions

How is this different from just giving my dog ice cubes?

Ice cubes are gone in seconds and can be choking hazards. Freezbone lasts 30-60 minutes, provides mental stimulation through licking, and lets you add nutritious (hydrating) ingredients. It’s the difference between a snack and a full enrichment experience.

My dog destroys EVERYTHING—will this actually survive?  

Freezbone is made from natural rubber that’s tougher than Kongs. But here’s the secret: with frozen treats, dogs instinctively lick rather than chew. The cold temperature protects the toy. We’ve had customers with notorious destroyers using the same Freezbone for years.

What can I actually put in it?

The possibilities are truly endless. Popular summer fills: diluted wet food, bone broth, yogurt + fruit, pumpkin puree, or just regular kibble mixed with filtered water. Pro top: layer different ingredients for a longer-lasting challenge.

Will it really help with summer anxiety?

Yes! The repetitive licking motion releases endorphins and serotonin—natural calming chemicals. Combined with the cooling effect, it’s like meditation for dogs. Many customers report their anxious dogs becoming noticeably calmer after regular Freezbone sessions.

How do I know what size to get? 

Almost every Freezbone design comes in three sizes: small (up to 30 lbs), medium (30-70 lbs), and large (70+ lbs). When it doubt, size up—it just means more cooling time. Our customer service team can help you choose if you’re unsure.

Don’t Let the Heat Get to Your Dog…

Every summer day without proper cooling is a risk to your dog’s health and happiness. While other dog parents struggle with overheated, anxious pups all summer long, you could be enjoying a calm, cool, and content companion.

But here’s the thing: Summer is our busiest season. Last year we sold out during the summer months. Don’t let that happen to you!
