With children and pets spending more time together over the summer holidays, it's super important to watch dogs closely and listen to their body language ⚠️

Dogs' stress signals often get misunderstood or missed, with some owners not realising their dog is unhappy until they growl, snap or even bite.

The canine ladder of communication is a useful guide, showing the different signals dogs show through their body language to communicate. As a dog gets more upset, their body language may change according to the steps on the ladder 🚦

It’s important to note that all dogs are different - not every dog will show every behaviour on the ladder and might not follow the same order.

This is a traffic light system with red signals being the worst. Green signals are: Yawning, blinking, nose licking and turning their head away. Yellow signals are: Sitting and turning their body away, walking away, creeping and having their ears back. Orange signals are: Standing crouched, tail tucked, lying down with their belly exposed in a submissive way, stiffening up and staring. Red signals are: Growling, snapping and biting.]

As well as the ideas we shared about walking yesterday, here are some more top tips for keeping your dog safe on hot days...

Never leave dogs in hot cars, or unattended in conservatories, outbuildings or caravans on a warm day. At 22°C outside, temperatures can quickly increase to more than double in these environments, which can quickly prove fatal.

Dogs can wear suncream too. Use pet-safe cream on exposed parts of your pet's skin, such as the tips of their ears and nose, to avoid sunburn. This is especially important if your dog has white or light-coloured fur, as they can be very vulnerable to getting burnt. If you're unsure which is the right product to use, please ask your vet.

Ensure pets always have access to shade and fresh drinking water to help keep them cool. Put ice cubes into your dog's water bowl or make some tasty ice cube treats. You could also freeze a kong with treats and water!

Give your pet damp towels to lie on or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Both simple methods could provide welcome relief from the heat.

Groom them regularly - regular grooming in warmer weather can help brush away any dead or excess hair, leaving your dog with a less dense coat - much better for staying cool!

Dogs may also appreciate a paddling pool to splash around in, although not all dogs like water, so there's no need to force them if they don't want to!

Some dogs seem to choose to stay out of the sun when it's too warm, whereas others cook! If your dog is spending too much time in the sun, call them into a cooler space in your home and if you're leaving them, ensure it's a cooler space too. 😊
