With the end of 2024 rapidly approaching please plan around the safety of your pets.

We know New Years Eve brings fireworks (legally & illegal) which animals hate.
Please keep them safe.

Today is the first of a few days break away with my 2 Doggos.
I’ll be fitting in some training, swimming, catch ups and maybe a few wines before welcoming more Doggos into our home next week 🥰

Thanks to Dale McFarlane for holding the Home front while we get away ❤️

I hope all enjoy their weekend,

☀️ The hot long days are here ☀️

Here are some beat the heat tips to keep your Doggos safe and avoid those unnecessary Vet bills..

1 - Do NOT leave dogs unattended in cars when it is warm/hot. Legally you cannot keep a dog in a car when the outside temperature reaches 29C or above.

2 - Check the pavement! Before going for walks, hold the back of your hand against the pavement for at least 5 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog.

Here is a rough guide..

Air Temp | Asphalt Temp
25 °C / 77 °F | 52 °C / 125 °F
31 °C / 87 °F | 62 °C / 143 °F
35 °C / 95 °F | 65 °C / 149 °F

🔆💡 Invest in some Summer Dog boots and keep those nails well maintained if you still want to get out and about on those warmer days.

3 - Ensure your dog has access to fresh clean water.

⛔️ Dogs do not sweat like we do, they rely on the evaporation of moisture while panting to cool down. Water is crucial for this process!
🔆💡A half filled plastic kiddie pool can offer huge relief.

4 - Ensure they have access to decent shade and or air conditioning where possible.

5 - Groom your Doggos to their breeds summer coat standard OR book them into a groomer.
⛔️ Poodle/Oodle/Double Coated/ETC dog owners need to get this done ASAP so that overheating doesn’t occur.

I hope these tips help your Doggos keep cool 😎 ✌️
