Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting? Get in touch by emailing money-sm@

This pet cooling mat is a 'game-changer' for overheating dogs — Amazon shoppers swear by it
When the summer heat hits (and it's been hitting), it's not just us humans who feel it — our furry friends struggle too. Keeping pets cool during sweltering hot days is important for their comfort and health, especially when temperatures soar. That's where this Large Pet Cooling Mat from Amazon Canada comes in handy. Shoppers are calling it a total "game-changer" at preventing pets from overheating, whether they're lounging indoors or tagging along on summer excursions. It's designed to provide instant relief without any electricity, water or weird activation tactics — just a comfy, chilled surface they can sprawl out on. If your pet's feeling the heat, this mat is a cool solution. If your pup or feline friends are feeling the summer heat, this cooling mat is here to help. It's thick, comfortable and cool, and there's no need for electricity or freezing to get it going — once your pet lies down, the mat will instantly start drawing away heat. It will even change colour so you can visibly see it working. The waterproof, anti-slip design keeps things clean and safe, so they can lie on it wet or dry. Plus, it's very lightweight and easily foldable, making it perfect for road trips, hanging out at the park or hot days at home. It's easy to clean and quick to dry, making it a no-brainer summer must-have for keeping your furry friend cool in scorching temperatures. ⭐️ 4.4/5 stars 💬 1,000+ ratings 🏆 "If my dog could write reviews, this would be a 10-paw rating." "Best cooling mat ever," writes one customer who also calls it "fantastic." It keeps their dog "nice and cool no matter where he is," adding that they take it in their vehicle and to the cottage. "My dog who is panting all the time has adopted her new cooling mat in a second!" shared another. They said it's a real "game-changer for her." Another said it "keeps my dog cool and comfy!" They love that "the material stays cool to the touch and doesn't need any extra effort like freezing or wetting it." They continued, "It's lightweight and super easy to move around the house or take on trips." While one person said it "feels cool to the touch," they did complain about it feeling "super thin" — their solution was laying it on their pup's bed. Another important note is don't leave it in the sun for too long, as that can damage the cooling fabric and colour-changing abilities. The $47 price tag might feel a bit steep for a pet mat, but shoppers say it's definitely worth it for the cooling relief it offers their dogs on hot days. It might feel a little thin on its own, but you can always layer it over your pet's bed for extra cushioning. If you want to prevent your pup from overheating, this is a smart summer purchase.
