With temperatures expected to remain exceptionally high this week, we are asking clients to carefully consider whether their pet needs to travel.
🚨 This week we recommend attending the practice for emergencies or problem appointments only. If you are unsure whether your pet needs to be seen, please give us a call and we will be happy to advise.
How to keep your pets safe this week:
❄️ Keep pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day
💧 Ensure fresh, cool water is always available
🧊 Provide cooling mats, fans or cool shaded areas
🚫 Please avoid walking dogs during this heatwave. Even early morning and evening temperatures may be too high, and pavements can retain dangerous levels of heat. Missing a few walks is far safer than risking heatstroke.
🚗 Never leave pets in cars, even for a few minutes
👀 Watch for signs of heatstroke including excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting or collapse
If you are concerned about your pet or believe they may be suffering from heatstroke, please contact us immediately.
Stay safe and keep cool everyone ❤️
