☀️HEAT STROKE PREVENTION☀️
A couple of days late but here's my top tips to prevent heat stroke:
🔥Walk dogs early in the morning and late at night when it is cooler. If you need to miss a walk then this is better than walking when the weather is hot.
🔥Keep fans on in the house if your house is warm and provide cooling mats. Close curtains to keep your pet's room shaded from the full sun.
🔥Always have fresh cool water available.
🔥Limit play time in the garden when the sun is hot and check the temperature of your patios and fake grass as they can get really hot!
🔥Be especially vigilant with brachcephalic breeds and staffies but no breed is out of danger.
🔥Never leave them in the car, even for a few minutes.
🔥Small furries cages and hutches should be shaded and cool packs can be put inside to keep the cages a more comfortable temperature (use pet safe filled ones and try to attach them out of reach).
🔥Put ice cubes into small pets water bottles to keep them cool for longer.
🔥Follow the guidelines in my other post if you think your pet has heat stroke.

Attached is a pic of my two silly sun worshippers enjoying 5 minutes outside as they have no sense 😬 I had to shower the grass down first as it was too hot for their feet at 11am! The big grey "Wallace" was really feeling it after just 5 minutes and he's obviously not a brachy.

🌞I just thought I'd share the latest treatment info for heatstroke. We no longer recommend wet towels as they quickly heat up with the pet's body temperature and can then actually contribute to the retention of body heat 🌞
*Preventative info in separate post.

If your pet is suffering from heat stroke:
1) Move to a cool area. Shade and preferably a fan.
2) Pour or shower over water cooler than the pets body temperature, so basically cool water, avoiding the face.
3) Keep doing this. Water and a fan is preferable.
4) Call your vet. All vets provide a 24 hour service, so just call your usual day vet's phone number and if it is out of hours you will be transferred or given the phone number for their out of hours service.

Henry's out and the cats are nowhere to be seen 😆 I always try to leave your house just as I found it (at least the rooms I have access to for your pets needs) so if you find cat litter everywhere or they've trashed the place then the little darlings have done it after my final visit 😹😼😽

Happy World Animal Day!
I've made animals the focus of my working life and surrounded myself with them at home. I can't imagine my life without them 💕 (Well we would have lots more holidays 😂).
This is my own "little" team of animals and the reason I need 3 jobs 🤣🤣
