The dog days are over — well, almost. As the peak heat of summer starts to fade in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati, now’s the time to give your HVAC system a late-season checkup. Keeping your home comfortable isn’t just about temperature—it’s about every member of the household, even the ones with four legs.
What Are the Dog Days of Summer?
The “dog days” mark the hottest, most humid stretch of the year, typically early July through mid-August. This period puts maximum demand on your cooling system—and it doesn’t just affect you. Pets seek relief too, often curling up near floor vents or lounging in the coolest spots in the house.

Home Comfort Matters for the Whole Family
That’s why Logan Services created the Comfiest Companions campaign—to celebrate how comfort impacts every member of the household. From dogs stretched out under ceiling fans to cats curled up near registers, our pets know when the HVAC system is doing its job.
“Many of our own team members are proud pet parents, and we know how important it is to keep the entire family—furry friends included—cool and cozy.”
– Riley A., Marketing Specialist
