Pets:
Wash all their bowls thoroughly, as bacteria (salmonella/ecoli) grows and worsens in heat
Freeze blueberries for little snacks to help cool them down, a great low calorie/anti-oxidant snack
Pop a large block of ice in their water bowl to keep their drinking water cold for hours
Dampen a beach towel to lay over their bed/floor to cool their bellies and paws
If they’re snugglers like mine and insist on being under a blanket, dampen a baby muslin blanket (or pillow case/bed sheet) to keep them cool underneath
Have multiple fans in a room and spray them with water often, the fan will cool them as it evaporates the water off their fur
Humans:
Soak a t-shirt thoroughly and pop in the washing machine for a short spin cycle. This makes the shirt evenly damp and blissful to cool your skin
Do the same with a bed sheet and drape it over your body laying down, in front of a fan for full body cooling
Get bags of crushed ice from Asda and add to your water and nibble on for a cool snack
Keep a water spray bottle next to your bed and spray limbs down, with a fan facing your body. The fan will cool your skin as it evaporates the water
Grab Kool n Soothe cold patches from Home Bargains and apply to your forehead to help with any menopausal flashes or heat headaches
Stock up on watermelon for a great hydrating, cold snack that cools the mouth
