The weather is set to be very hot these next few days ๐๐ฅต
All walks at Woofs & Whiskers will be moved to early morning when itโs cooler to ensure all dogs are kept safe and comfortable ๐
๐ Tips for keeping your dog cool ๐
โข Walk early morning and late evening when itโs cooler
โข Avoid walking on pavements when temperatures start to rise - dogs expel heat through their paws!
โข Keep to shaded areas with lots of fresh water sources
โข Keep walks calm & controlled - no excessive playing, ball throwing etc
โข Be extra cautious if your dog is very young, very old, overweight or a brachy breed (Bull dogs, frenchies, pugs, boxers etc)
โข Remember itโs not just the temperature but the humidity too! High humidity levels restrict a dogs ability to cool themselves down through panting, and their body temp will skyrocket!
โข Donโt be afraid to miss out a walk!! No dog has ever died from missing a walk ๐พ
