Morning in the day of a dog boarder. Prepping the week ahead. Douglas is making sure the board is in order so we know who is in today. Paperwork for dogs including all information for emergencies sorted into folder for the day. Secure entrances so dogs can safely enjoy outside space. On top of preparing breakfasts for two hungry teenagers and drying eldest ones last minute washing 🙄

The weather is stifling and the dogs are really not liking the heat. This week’s temperatures are soaring. Earlier starts are needed to ensure dogs can be walked so I have asked clients to let me know drop off times so we can get moving when safe. If it is too hot then we won’t be taking any risks and we won’t be walking. Safety first.

It's good to be back. My usual gang arriving and coffee. Going to be spending the day keeping everyone cool.

The heat puts pressure on many of the underlying conditions in our pets. The kidneys have to go into overdrive, the heart faces overwhelming pressure, and the lungs are worked to Olympic level. Pets facing this heat can exacerbate underlying conditions. That heart murmur may explode into a whole array of symptoms, the low grade kidney disease could become advanced.

Keep them cool, preferably below 19c, make sure they’re hydrated using water fountains and multiple water sources, add electrolytes if appropriate, wet them with COLD water periodically, monitor their clinical signs, and DO NOT, for dogs, think about walking in this hot weather.
