Always keep your fur babies safe 💗

As the British weather is starting to warm up, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with what temperatures are safe for your dog☀️🐶

Every year our vets treat hundreds of heat stroke cases and, heartbreakingly, some end in tragedy. Many are unfortunately a result of owners not knowing the dangers of exercising their dogs in temperatures too hot for them to handle.

Heat-related illnesses are almost always preventable. DONT TAKE THE RISK and make sure your pet isn’t overheating in the sun.

If you think your dog may be suffering from heat stroke, contact your vet immediately or, if out-of-hours, find your nearest emergency vet.
Remember, Get them WET and get them to the Vet!

As the Bonfire Night celebrations have already begun, a lot of pets are struggling with the loud, sudden bangs of the fireworks.
While there are many websites out there that say the same things over and over about making your pets feel comfortable, you must do your research into actual pet websites, specialising in pet safety as well as their comfort.
At the end of the day, circulating posts around complaining about people celebrating early will just have them start sooner each year (that's just how people are, we seem to get a kick out of other people's whinging) so the best thing for you to do for your pets is look after them, condition them to accept the sounds, research what you can do to support them when they are distressed.

I hope you all have a lovely Bonfire Night, and that you all keep your pets safe 💗
