Keeping Cool In the Heat 🌞

Temperatures are continuing to soar over the next few days and whilst us humans might be pleased to see the sunshine, our pets may not enjoy it as much.

❗️ Please do not walk your dogs in the heat, really early mornings seem to be cooler and the best time to gently exercise them ❗️

Keeping pets indoors, out of the direct sunlight and ensuring plenty of fresh drinking water is available at all times is essential. Moving small furries such as rabbits and Guinea pigs out of hutches or outdoor enclosures in direct sunlight is also a must, you can also offer them cold snacks, cool mats and shade to help keep their temperatures down.

Below are some pictures of our staff pets keeping cool in the sunny weather- we would love to see pictures of your pets as well and you can post them in the comments!

1. Vet Bex’s cat Pablo, serving up ice-cream in the garden
2. Veterinary Care Assistant Beth’s German Shepherd Ruby, being walked early morning through the well shaded woods
3. Head Nurse Chloe’s Labrador Barley, cooling off in the water trough
4. Ann & Scott’s cats Hector and Dolly, relaxing in the shade in the garden
5. Vet Bex’s Labrador’s Peggy and Rosie, enjoying fishing their favourite toys out of water
6. Vet Katie’s rabbit Fred, relaxing indoors
7. Head Receptionist Emma’s dog Rolo, wearing his cooling jacket
8. Vet Nurse Shannon’s cat Bean, enjoying his cool mat
9. Vet Nurse Caz’s Golden Retriever Toffee, having a dip in the pool

We hope all of our clients and their lovely pets are keeping cool and safe during this beautiful weather and we can’t wait to see your pictures!
