Jollyes launches Operation Cool Dog amid heatwave
As well as providing pet owners with tips on how to keep their dog cool at home, until close of business on Friday 22 July, every Jollyes store will provide free ‘doggy ice-cream’
Jollyes has launched Operation Cool Dog in anticipation of record temperatures today (19 July) across the UK.
As well as providing pet owners with tips on how to keep their dog cool at home, until close of business on Friday 22 July, every Jollyes store will provide free “doggy ice-cream” for shoppers “sensibly not leaving their pet in a car during these unprecedented temperatures”.
Each store will also make sure their outside water bowls remain full so dogs visiting Jollyes can hydrate in the face of very high temperatures.
Every Jollyes store carries a full range of Frozzy’s frozen yoghurt especially made for dogs in single tubs or multi-packs and in original, blueberry and strawberry. Some stores also stock Alexander’s Natural Kefir Paws that are made with organic milk and are similar to a healthy ice pop.
It comes as sales of cooling products for dogs have been surging as owners take extra care of their pets while temperatures rise. Jollyes has seen a ten-fold increase in sales of cooling products, including cooling mats and travel water bowls, last week as owners look for ways of keeping their pets comfortable.
Chris Burns, Jollyes’ commercial director, said: “The national emergency that’s been declared as we anticipate record temperatures applies to pets as well as their owners.
“Pets should stay in a cool place at home and through Operation Cool Dog, we’re ready to play our part in helping the whole family –with two legs and four – get through this week.”
