Find some shade
How can you keep his personal space cool? I recommend using a shaded outdoor thermometer to help you find the most comfortable spot for your dog. Even if a large tree is not available, a canvas canopy can be placed on a small patio area. Collapsible shade tents, which can be folded and unfolded as needed, are widely available in home and garden stores.

Take a dip, but be careful
How to care for your dog in hot weather? Be careful with swimming. If you have a pool or live near a lake, you might be tempted to take your dog for a swim. If your dog is overheating, this appears to be a logical option, but proceed with caution. If your dog is extremely hot or on the verge of heatstroke, it may aggravate the situation. Lowering your dog's skin and surface temperature too quickly may cause further heating of his internal organs, exacerbating the overheating of the body's core.
Instead, because your dog's feet aid in the regulation of body temperature, allow him to enter the water slowly. Allow him to stand in cold water with only his feet for a few minutes, ideally while monitoring his temperature with a thermometer. Pet care in hot weather is to remain rectal temperatures of 103F.

If you don't have access to a pool or lake, a small child's wading pool can be placed on a small patio or even a small patio to allow your dog to simply stand in the water. Remember that one of the ways dogs dissipate heat (and one of the few places they sweat) is through their footpads.
Create a breeze
A breeze can make the summer heat much more bearable, and simply placing a window or shop fan on the patio will create a nice breeze for your dog. You might even want one for yourself! A breeze or fan is especially useful for evaporative cooling. Unfortunately, because dogs do not sweat much, you may need to simulate this evaporation.
Try some mist
How to care for your dog in hot weather? Using a garden hose to wet down your dog will obviously help, but it wastes a lot of water, and some dogs are afraid of the hose or may be injured by the pressure. Consider using a mist creating an attachment that connects to the water supply and sprays a very fine (and cooling) mist of water in areas as small as a few square feet and as large as a patio. These misters are inexpensive and can be found at home improvement stores. Many stores also sell a small quart-sized sprayer, some of which include a small fan. They are excellent for both cooling your pet and yourself.

Use a wet blanket
Cooling can be aided by using a dampened hand towel or a bath towel that has been frozen. A bag of frozen peas can be used as an ice pack to cool your dog's head, or it can be placed on the neck or groin, where some large blood vessels reside.
Ice that drink
On a hot day, you drink something cool. Don't you think your dog would enjoy one as well? Simply keep their water cool and fresh by replenishing it frequently. To help lower the temperature, add ice to the water bowl.
Make popsicles and icicles
Dogs, in my experience, are willing to partake in a Popsicle or frozen juice bar. If your dog isn't a fan of fruit flavors, try making frozen bars with plain water and a dash of beef bouillon. They're not my favorite, but your dog might enjoy them.
