A frozen treat. A blissful moment. 😻 Cats are pretty good at keeping cool, but they still need some help in hot weather. Keep curtains drawn to block direct sun, offer plenty of fresh water around the house, & place a cool, damp towel or ceramic tile in their favourite spot..

🚨 IF IN DOUBT, DON’T GO OUT 🚨 #hotweather #warning #pets #dog #cat #heatwave #rabbit #smallpets #petsafety #zumi #vetnurse #petcare

It’s May, it’s a Bank Holiday Monday and temperatures are currently in the low thirties in Northamptonshire under blue skies.

A sunny Sunday lunchtime in the county with temperatures currently in the mid to high twenties

Is it too hot to walk your dog? ☀️ As temperatures climb, it's important to be mindful of your dog's safety during walks. More dogs die from hot walks than in hot cars. Your dog depends on you to make the right call. When in doubt, sit the walk out #animalrescue #animalwelfare

Please retweet, what to do if you see a dog in a hot car... Here’s the RSPCA step-by-step guide to help: “In an emergency, it is best to dial 999 and report a dog in a hot car to police. The RSPCA may not be able to attend quickly enough and, with no powers of entry, would need police assistance at such an incident,” the RSPCA says. “You can call the RSPCA’s 24-hour emergency cruelty line on 0300 1234 999 for advice but, if a dog is in danger, dialling 999 should always be the first step.” Check the animal – is he/she relaxed or distressed? If the dog seems fairly content and isn’t in immediate danger then try to establish how long they have been unattended in the vehicle and note down the registration. Ask a member of staff to make a tannoy announcement to trace the owner but ask someone to stay with the dog and monitor them. If the dog is in distress or displaying any sign of heatstroke – such as panting heavily, drooling excessively, is lethargic or uncoordinated, or collapsed and vomiting – call 999 immediately and request police. If the situation becomes critical and police can’t attend, many people’s instinct is to break into the car to free the dog. Please be aware that, without proper justification, this could be classed as criminal damage. Make sure you tell the police of your intentions and take photos or footage of the dog as well as names and numbers of witnesses. The law states that you have a lawful excuse to commit damage if you believe that the owner of the property that you damage would consent to the damage if they knew the circumstances. Once removed from the car, move the dog to a shaded/cool area and douse him with cool water. Allow the dog to drink small amounts of cool water. The dog should be seen by a vet as soon as possible.
