Shade, shade and more shade. Deep, dark, complete shade. Huge grapefruit tree gives the best shade. We have dry heat here, so on very hot days, I soak the ground under their favorite trees and shrubs. Evaporation is cooling, and they will wallow in the wet dirt too. Plenty of cool water to drink. Mine will walk through puddles on the ground, but never in a pan of water. Also, I read one time that ACV in the water is NOT good during high heat. It lowers their blood pH and makes them less heat tolerant.
