Our pets are part of the family and we want to share fun experiences with them - including taking them on holiday!

While this often results in great fun and wonderful memories, there are a few things to consider first. A bit of planning goes a long way towards making it a positive experience for everyone.

If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them.

An AHC needs to be issues by an Official Veterinarian (OV). Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be harmful. We control their environment, their access to water and their exercise, and they can't speak up if they start feeling unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

Deafness can be a very isolating disability, so a hearing dog offers constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them.

This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely life-changing.
