So important in this heat to protect your dogs x

Keep your eyes peeled to the local BBC News today. You might see Keith having some fun in our stream with one of our dog team Rachel. Little Valley will be talking about the importance of keeping your animals cool in this extremely hot weather.

Here are some steps you can take to ensure your dog stays cool during the summer months.

Never leave dogs in hot cars, conservatories, outbuildings or caravans on a warm day (even if only for a short while). When it's 22°C outside, temperatures can quickly rise to 47°C (117°F) in these environments, which can be fatal.

Use pet-safe sun 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.

Check every day for flystrike - this can be fatal.

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 (never place a damp towel over your dog as this can trap in heat) or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Both simple methods could provide welcome relief from the heat

Don't walk your dog in the heat. Walk them very early in the morning or evening when the sun is low and the pavements are cool. Pavements in the summer can burn a dogs pads.

Don't take your dog out in the heat. If you can't leave them on their own and you must go out, try to arrange a pet-sitter or consider ordering what you need online.

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!

Please use the link below to find out more about heatstroke, flystrike and burned pads directly from the RSPCA website.
