WALKS CANCELLED.
It's 27 degrees already at 9:30am. This is purely for your dogs welfare.
I will be doing garden visits for the rest of the day, everyone with bookings today have been contacted. Realistically looking at the temperature the rest of this week I can't see any dogs being walked after 8:30am.
Please give me a call if you have any concerns at all.

It's brutal - but it's the truth. Pets DO die in hot weather and don't ever be naive enough to think it won't happen to you. 🌡️☀️
⚠️ PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. ⚠️
The harsh reality is, we see a dramatic increase in families needing our services during heatwaves. Which is great from a business perspective, but as fellow animal lovers and pet owners, it's devastating.
We are urging anybody reading this to please BE RESPONSIBLE with your pets during the extreme heat that is forecast this week.
🌡️ REMEMBER:
- Never leave your pet unsupervised outside on hot days. While you are away, keep your pet indoors with air conditioning/fans.
- If you do need to go outside, ensure your pet has access to fresh water, shade, and shelter away from direct sunlight.
- Take your daily walk in the early morning, before temperatures reach dangerous levels.
- Never leave your pet alone in a parked car. Heat quickly builds to deadly levels in a closed car, even on sunny days that aren’t hot.
- Keep brachycephalic breeds (Pug, Bulldog types, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apsos, Pekingese, Bull Mastiffs etc), elderly and obese pets, and those with heart or lung disease inside your cool home except for short outdoor bathroom breaks.
- Keep a particularly close watch on your pet if they are elderly (7+ years), has existing health problems or if they are pregnant.
🌡️ SIGNS OF HEATSTROKE:
- Excessive panting
- Excessive drooling
- Difficulty breathing
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea, with or without blood
- Weakness
- Incoordination or stumbling
- Sudden collapse
Your pet will forgive you for being strict on heatstroke prevention for a couple of days. You can never be too careful.
PLEASE, PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE! 💜
