The UK has seen very hot temperatures over the past week, with some days seeing over 30C temperatures.

With the high temperatures comes a risk of pets overheating or dehydrating, here’s some tips to keep your pets cool.

How can I keep my pets cool in the heat ?

Always leave fresh water out

Take water with you with a portable bowl

Never leave pet in a car or anywhere where heat can build

Take dogs for walks during cooler temperatures such as the evening, when temps reduce but it’s still light.

Allow pet to walk in grass rather than a hot pavement that can damage your pets paws.
