Thank you for submitting your question regarding Roxy. Cold fresh water and shade are the best things that you can do for her. Male sure to keep her quiet and do not exercise her during the heat of the day. Save walks, runs or playtime for the early morning or evening hours. There are not any supplements that I would add to her food or water. I hope this information helps!
