Stay cool - how to get your furry friend through the heat

Heatwave on the way! 🐾
Your four-legged friend now needs special protection from the summer heat! As an animal welfare organisation, we would like to remind you of the importance of is to take good care of your pet in high temperatures.
Here are a few important tips on how to help your pet through the heat:
🌊 Always fresh water: Make sure your pet has access to fresh water at all times - preferably several bowls in the house and garden.
🌳 Cool retreats: Offer your pet shady places outside and cool rooms inside. Cooling mats or a damp towel are great for cooling down!
🚶 Postpone walks: Go for a walk early in the morning or late in the evening - the ground won't be so hot. Don't forget the paw protection!
🚗 Never leave them in the car: Even a few minutes in a parked car can be life-threatening. Never leave your pet alone in the car!
💦 Offer cooling: A wet towel, a cool bath or a small paddling pool in the garden will help to lower your body temperature.
⚠️ Recognise the warning signs: Look out for heavy panting, staggering, vomiting or apathy - these can be signs of heatstroke. In an emergency: to the vet immediately!
