As the days start to warm up, we would like to remind you of some top tips to ensure your dogs stay cool and happy.
- Walk your dog early morning or late at night when the temperature is cooler, try walking them in shady places and avoid tarmac
“I love footballs but I am only allowed to play with them when it is cool” Marshall explains!
2. Ensure your dog has access to cool areas inside
3. Avoid car journeys and use air-conditioning if necessary
4. Ensure your dog has access to clean fresh water, dogs may drink more in hotter weather so ensure their bowls are checked regularly
5. NEVER leave your dog in a parked car during hot weather – dogs can overheat in a matter of minutes causing multi-organ failure and death
6. Use cooling pads, fans or cooling coats to cool your dog down
7. If concerned about your dogs excessive panting or unusual symptoms in this warm weather, contact your veterinary surgery for advice immediately.

Appeals:
Bedding: Thank you for all the bedding that has been donated to the centre, we are now fully stocked up.
Treats: The kennel residents are getting a bit worried as we are running very low on Bonio’s and soft treats, if you could donate a packet or two they will be very happy.
