It's summer in Japan right now, and it's very hot. The heatwave is causing people to do all sorts of things to stay cool -- from eating ice cream and drinking beer to buying fans for their dogs. The fans have been dubbed "Dog Air Conditioners," and many pet owners fear that their dogs will get heatstroke because the weather has been so hot and humid lately. Why are these dog air conditioners popular? Because they're cute! Many Japanese people have started sharing pictures of themselves holding up their furry friends while wearing them on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram.

The heatwave in Japan is causing people to make wearable fans for their dogs.

The prolonged summer has caused many people in Japan to make wearable fans for their pets, who are suffering from the heat as much as everyone else. They're called “Dog Air Conditioners” and are a cheap solution for owners who want to give their animals some relief from the sweltering temperatures, but don't have air conditioning or a fridge full of ice cubes on hand.

The cardboard contraptions consist of two pieces of cardboard taped together with one end cut out like an open window. You then slip it over your dog's muzzle and they can breathe through the hole while cooling themselves down at the same time thanks to their own panting action!

The fans have been dubbed "Dog Air Conditioners," a play on the phrase "Dog Days of Summer." They're made from cardboard, fabric and plastic bottles. The fans are strapped to the dogs' backs and are held in place by a harness.

The uniquely Japanese trend has been making its rounds on social media since last year when they were first created by inventor Keisuke Jinushi. The name comes from the fact that it's hot enough for dogs to need air conditioning during these days, according to Nintendo Life.

Many pet owners fear that their dogs will get heatstroke, which is a concern because Japanese summers are very hot and humid.

A pet owner who lives in Japan can't just go outside and run around when it's hot. While humans have sweat glands to cool themselves off, dogs do not. Dogs can only cool off by panting, which means they aren't able to regulate their body temperature as well as people do. They also don't have the ability to sweat like humans do, so if you live in a very hot place like Japan or Australia with high humidity levels, your dog may be more vulnerable to heatstroke than other animals that can cool down through sweating (like humans).

The best way for pet owners to avoid heatstroke is by keeping their pets inside during this summer's heat wave!

The heatwave is expected to last until late September.

The heatwave is expected to last until late September, making it the longest one in more than 40 years.

The high pressure system has caused temperatures in Japan to rise above 40 degrees Celsius for the first time this season. It's so hot that you might have trouble remembering what it feels like to be cool.

People are encouraged to stay indoors and limit outdoor activities until the weather gets cooler again. Dogs should also be kept indoors as much as possible because they can't regulate their body temperature in extreme heat like humans can—they could suffer from heatstroke if they don't take precautions during these dangerous temperatures!
