From an interview that she did:
The song is about her struggle with giving up her favorite food (or one of her favorites), Hot Dogs, when she became a vegetarian. Nothing quite so inspirational, but it's the truth. That's what the dog days of summer mean. Hot dogs gave her a lot of happiness, but she had to run from them. And, I imagine with all the summer barbecuing, they "came after her" and tempted her quite a bit. She probably just started with the one line and and went from there.
Florence has stated that 'Dog Days Are Over' was directly inspired by an art installation by the artist Ugo Rondinone. He's got an art installation on the side of a building that said, "Dog Days Are Over."
The overall mood of the song Dog Days is celebratory. Typically, the dog days of summer are the hottest most uncomfortable days, so if the singer's "dog days" are over it signifies that an uncomfortable time in her life is past her but the lyrics also seem to temper the joyous mood of the arrangement by hinting that she knows it could be a fleeting victory.

Florence and the Machines - Dog Days are over
The meaning, to me, of 'Dog Days' is basically, she singing about how someone found happiness, but finds it unreal, 'Happiness, hit her, like a train on a track'. She doesn't believe it and is terrified, 'She hid around corners and she hid under beds', so she tries running away from it, escaping 'Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father'. That's kind of it.From an interview Florence said " 'Dog Days Are Over' was directly inspired by an art installation by the artist Ugo Rondinone. He's got an art installation on the side of this gallery in New York that just says, 'Hell, Yes!' Ugo had an installation on the side of another building that said, "Dog Days Are Over.'
