Just a friendly reminder to all our clients regarding the current and upcoming heatwave. As we enter 31 degrees plus, the risks to our pets lives increase. Today there is a 9/10 chance of heat stroke if a pet is put in the wrong situation. Monday and Tuesday is 10/10.
Here are some friendly tips to help you and your furry pets these next few daysâŚ
⢠No car journeys- itâs too warm. If you need to pop out, keep your pets at home in a cool room with plenty of water and cool matts (if you have them)
⢠Avoid waking between 8am and 8pm. If ussure, look at the temperature chart on poster to see what the risks are to your pet for your current temperature readings. Do not worry, missing a couple walks may frustrate your pet, but will keep them safe â¤ď¸
⢠Paddling pools. If you have access to a garden, try to avoid too much play and running in the heat but instead, put up a paddling pool so they can keep cool! If you are indoors, wet towels and place them on your furry friends! â¤ď¸
Last but not least, look for the signs your pet may be in trouble! Excessive panting, change of colour to gums (bright red) and issues with mobility. If you see any of these issues, get them to a vets straight away! Heat stroke can kill. Remember we have a 24/7 advise line and hospital in surbiton. If concerned call them on 02083996666.
To everyone, stay safe and know we are always here for advise.
