South Australia is heading for a scorcher of a long weekend - and with temps tipped to climb above 40°C tomorrow, it’s crucial we keep our pets and local wildlife safe. 🐰🐨🐦
We've already seen a rise in heat‑related cruelty reports this summer, often involving animals without shade or water, or left in dangerously hot cars.
A few simple actions make a huge difference.
👉 Provide constant shade and bring pets indoors to cool, air‑conditioned spaces
👉 Keep multiple water sources topped up (add ice if you can)
👉 Avoid car travel and never leave animals in vehicles
👉 Skip walks during the heat of the day
👉 Leave shallow water bowls and filled bird baths out for wildlife.
Your choices can save lives during extreme heat. 💙
