SUMMER HAZARDS FOR YOUR 🐕 DOGS 🐕

HEATSTROKE
Warm, sunny days are lovely, but too much heat can be extremely dangerous for our canine companions. During hot weather, it’s important to give your doggy plenty of shade and water to drink, and make sure they go for a walk during the cooler times in the day. It’s also important to avoid extreme exercise, such as running or games of fetch. If you notice any signs of heatstroke, contact your vet immediately.

BLUE GREEN ALGAE
Swimming is one of the joys of warm weather and is a great way to cool your pup down, but it’s important to check the water is safe before you let your dog go into a loch . Blue green algae is a dangerous bacteria that grows in stagnant water during warm weather. It’s important to know how to recognise blue green algae because it can be deadly if it’s swallowed.

TICKS
It’s not just us that enjoy the warmer weather – bugs and parasites thrive too, which is why you’re much more likely to find a tick attached to your pooch in the summer. Ticks are unlikely to cause any problems if they are removed quickly and properly. One way to protect your pooch from ticks is to stick to paths and open areas without long grass. If you live in an area that is known for ticks, it’s sensible to speak to your vet about tick treatments or repellents.

INSECT BITES AND STINGS
Wasp whacking, bee biting, and horse fly hounding is a dog’s idea of a good time, however, unfortunately for them, it often ends in a sting! Whether it’s their paw or their mouth, the sting site is likely to become red, swollen and painful. If you think your dog has been bitten or stung, contact you vet for advice. Most stings aren’t serious, but if your dog is allergic, swelling rapidly, or their breathing is affected.

SNAKE BITES
Dogs are curious creatures and often explore the world with a nose-first approach, which can result in a bite if they come across a sunbathing snake! Adders are venomous, which means their bite can cause serious illness – if your dog is bitten you should contact your vet immediately.

SUMMER HAZARDS FOR YOUR 🐱CATS🐱

SUNBURN
Cats ear tips, noses and eyelids tend to be much more exposed, and on hot days should be protected with a pet-safe sunscreen. It’s especially important to protect your cat from the sun if they are white, ginger, hairless or have a particularly thin coat because they are much more likely to burn.

PARASITES
The summer months can mean more time spent in long grass, and more chance of picking up parasites such as fleas and ticks. Tick and flea prevention can be discussed at your local vet surgery.

SUMMER HAZARDS FOR YOUR 🐰RABBITS🐰

HEATSTROKE
It’s important to keep bunnies cool during hot weather. Make sure to provide constant access to fresh, cold water, plenty of shade, and somewhere breezy to relax!

FLYSTRIKE
Sharing their living space with flies puts your bunnies at a high risk of flystrike – a serious and potentially fatal illness. Flystrike develops if a fly lays its eggs on your rabbit’s fur, which then hatch into maggots, and bury themselves under the skin. It’s important to check your rabbits daily, and clean their living space at least every other day.
