🌡️🐾 HOT WEATHER WARNING FOR PET OWNERS 🐾🌡️

We have received several reports of dogs being taken to the beach during the day in this current heatwave. 🥵 Please remember - if it feels hot to you, it’s even hotter for your pets.
Dogs can quickly suffer from heatstroke, burnt paw pads, dehydration, and breathing difficulties in warm weather. Flat-faced breeds, older pets, puppies, and overweight animals are especially at risk but heatstroke can and will affect all animals.

☀️ Heatwave safety advice for ALL pet owners:

🐕 Walk dogs early morning and late evening
🔥 Avoid hot pavements/sand/astro turf — place the back of your hand on the ground for 5 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for paws
💧 Ensure constant access to fresh, cool water
🏠 Keep pets in shaded, well-ventilated areas
🚫 Never leave any animal in a parked car - even for a few minutes or even with the windows open
🧊 Use cooling mats, damp towels or paddling pools
🐇 Small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens also need shade, clean fresh water, and plenty of ventilation.
🥒 Frozen treats can help cool pets and provide enrichment
🦔 Check wildlife have access to water

⚠️ Signs of heatstroke include:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Lethargy or weakness
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Collapse

If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet somewhere cool, offer small amounts of water, and contact your vet immediately.

Please help us keep all animals safe during this hot spell by sharing this post and reminding others to put pets welfare first.

Common saying a I know but a true one “No dog ever died from missing a walk” keep them in keep them cool keep them safe…or walk them late or earlier…I was truly astonished at the number of dogs I saw out yesterday in this baking sun 🐾🐾☀️ ❌

☀️ Sun’s Out - Again (finally!) which means watch out for Adders! 🐍

We have had reports of an Adder spotted today in Happy Island, we also had a dog hospitalised on Friday after being bitten by an Adder at West Bexington.

Adders become more active across the UK as they bask out in the sun. These native snakes are usually shy, but dogs (and curious cats!) can accidentally disturb them - especially in long grass, heathland, woodland edges, and coastal paths.

What to watch for:
• Sudden yelp or pain while out walking
• Swelling (often around the face or leg)
• Lethargy, drooling, or vomiting
• Puncture wounds (sometimes hard to see)

What to do if you suspect a bite:
👉 Keep your pet calm and still
👉 Carry them if possible (to slow venom spread)
👉 Call your vet immediately
👉 Do not try to suck the venom or apply a tourniquet

Most pets recover well with prompt treatment, quick action can make all the difference. 💚

Enjoy the sunshine ☀️ try to keep to clear paths and be aware of the long grass.
