🚨 Heatstroke in dogs is preventable – and it’s your legal responsibility.

New analysis from LAGECDogs confirms that under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, anyone caring for a dog must take reasonable steps to prevent heat-related illness.

Did you know?

👉 Up to 70% of cases are caused by exercising dogs in warm weather
👉 Around 30% happen when dogs are confined in hot spaces (like cars, conservatories, or poorly ventilated kennels)

🚫 Flat-faced and thick-coated breeds are at much higher risk, including:

• Chow Chows – 16.6x more likely than Labradors
• English Bulldogs – 14x more likely
• French Bulldogs – 6.5x more likely

⚠️ Risk is even higher for older, overweight, or breathing-impaired dogs.

👥 This applies to:

Dog guardians, walkers, sitters, daycare providers, home boarders, kennel staff, and trainers — anyone responsible for a dog in hot weather.

Demand for boarding is through the roof right now! 🚨🐾

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

✅ It's not just a box-ticking exercise – it's the law.

✅ A licence means they’ve been inspected and meet DEFRA standards for safety, cleanliness, and welfare.

✅ It covers things like emergency plans, secure premises, and how many dogs they’re allowed to care for.

Always ask to see a licence – a good boarder will be proud to show you. 🐶💼

🟡 June is Microchip Awareness Month Yappers!

Microchipping your dog isn’t just a good idea – in the UK, it’s the law.

All puppies must be microchipped by the time they’re 8 weeks old and before they go to their new home. Most responsible breeders will get it done between 6 and 8 weeks.

🐾 If your pet ever gets lost, having an up-to-date microchip gives you the best chance of being reunited.

📍 Quick myth-buster:
Microchips don’t have GPS.
They’re tiny chips that hold a unique ID number, linking to your contact details on a secure database.
No tracking, no batteries – just safe and permanent ID.

📌 What about cats?
In Scotland, microchipping cats isn’t yet a legal requirement – but it’s expected to become law in future, so it’s still a great idea to get it done early.

🔍 Take a minute this June to check your pet’s chip details are correct – it could make all the difference if they ever wander off 🏡
