Hi.
So I have a question I'd like to ask that I wouldn't have thought of before I had my service dog, I guess! Now that I know we'll be at WDW the first two weeks of June (I know -- it will be super hot and humid -- it's unavoidable...) I'm wondering what you all think.
Harrison is about 50 lbs (goldendoodle) but he's all white, not even cream -- pure white. I've read some people feel that their dogs with BLACK coats can't even stay in the park sometimes during the days in the summer because of the heat. I don't think THAT will be an issue, but do you think with his semi-thick and curly (very poodley) white coat I will need a cooling vest even if I water him a lot and give him a lot of breaks? And can I use Musher's Secret instead of boots if I watch for the signs of his feet getting sore?
I want to be careful that he's okay while I'm there, of course. Any input is appreciated -- and I know your advice are just opinions, no one can know for sure. Thank you
