โ˜€๏ธ Is your dog at higher risk in the heat? ๐Ÿถ

Hot weather can be dangerous for dogs, especially if they are:
๐Ÿพ Flat-faced breeds (Pugs, French Bulldogs, Bulldogs)
๐Ÿพ Puppies
๐Ÿพ Senior dogs (7+ years)
๐Ÿพ Overweight
๐Ÿพ Thick or double-coated breeds
๐Ÿพ Living with heart or breathing conditions

๐Ÿ’› Think before you walk.

๐Ÿšจ If you suspect heatstroke:
๐Ÿ’ง Cool first, then go to your vet.

โ˜€๏ธ As temperatures rise, it's worth taking a few minutes to brush up on how to keep dogs safe in hot weather.

We were delighted to collaborate with Dr Sophie Bell from Animal Love on this practical guide, covering heatstroke awareness, hot pavements, safe exercise, cooling tips, and common hot weather myths.

โ˜€๏ธ Dogs donโ€™t just die in hot cars, they die on hot walks too ๐Ÿ’”

Think it through before you do.
Even โ€˜just a quick oneโ€™ can be fatal.
Walk early, walk late or skip it altogether.

Sometimes the kindest walk is no walk at all.

Demand for boarding is through the roof right now! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿพ

If you're looking for dog boarding this summer, PLEASE check the provider has a valid council licence.

โœ… It's not just a box-ticking exercise โ€“ it's the law.

โœ… A licence means theyโ€™ve been inspected and meet DEFRA standards for safety, cleanliness, and welfare.

โœ… It covers things like emergency plans, secure premises, and how many dogs theyโ€™re allowed to care for.

Always ask to see a licence โ€“ a good boarder will be proud to show you. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ผ

โœ… Does your dog wear an ID tag?

Under the Control of Dogs Order 1992, every dog in a public place in England, Scotland or Wales must wear a tag that includes:

๐Ÿ“ Your name and address
๐Ÿก Your postcode
๐Ÿ“ž A phone number is optional, but highly recommended!

๐Ÿ‘‰ This applies even if your dog is microchipped โ€“ the tag is still a legal requirement.

๐Ÿšซ Donโ€™t include your dogโ€™s name
Itโ€™s not required, and many vets and dog professionals suggest leaving it off. Why? Because if someone steals your dog, knowing their name can make it easier to pass them off as their own.

๐Ÿท๏ธ Example of a good tag:
Miss Yappily
22 Barkers Avenue
TW16 5HL
0207 7695346 (optional, but useful)

๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ Some dogs are exempt, including:

Registered Guide Dogs

Police, military, or customs dogs on duty

Dogs used in emergency rescue

Dogs working with livestock (cattle or sheep)

Gundogs while out working

Dogs used for vermin control

๐Ÿ“Œ Quick Summary:
โœ”๏ธ Your dog legally needs an ID tag
โœ”๏ธ It must show your name, address and postcode
โœ”๏ธ Phone number is optional, but helpful
โœ”๏ธ Dogโ€™s name isn't needed โ€“ and best left off
