Some great advice on keeping your smaller furries safe over the next few days! 🥵☀️

As the weather here in the U.K. is set to reach potentially record braking highs into the 40’s I’m sure many of you have seen numerous posts across social media warning owners to not walk their dogs and take care with their pets in the heat. Although we believe guinea pigs do tolerate heat better than rabbits they are still at a very high risk of developing heat stroke from temperatures we are about to see. Young, elderly and unwell and overweight or longer haired breeds are at a higher risk. Any guinea pigs living outside we would recommend bringing into a cool room of the house for the next couple of days for safety. We have already seen reports of hutches catching fire let alone the risk of overheating. Ways you can help keep your little piggies cool includes:
- frozen bottles or cool mats to lay by or on
- air conditioned or fanned room
- blocking out any sunlight from the room
- various water sources including bowls and bottles
- frozen treats such as critical care food (in this photo), this does not cause bloat or digestive issues as some suggest

Heat stroke can be deadly. If your pet is showing any of these signs please contact your vet immediately:
- collapse, stumbling, uncoordinated
- drooling
- panting or heavy breathing
- fits (seizures)

Gently cool your pet using cool water (not ice cold), especially on their feet and ears to aid cooling.

Stay safe everyone. A few days of pets being stuck inside is better than potential loss of life.

**Note: there are many comments appearing that frozen food will cause digestive issues in your pet. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that this is the case. We wouldn’t however, advise frozen vegetables as this does change the composition of the food. Frozen critical care foods, soaked pellets or plain ice cubes are safe.
