🐶 Sudden UK heat spike this weekend – protect your dogs! 🐶

🌡️ A BIG temperature jump is forecast in the coming days ☀️🐶
Many areas in Central and Southern UK are expected to jump from the cool 15–20°C we’ve had for much of May straight up to 30°C+. For dogs that haven’t had their summer clip yet, this sudden change brings real risks, especially as they’re not acclimatised. Older dogs, overweight dogs, and those with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly vulnerable.

Dr David Marlin (https://askanimalweb.com/home) has been clear on this for years: a dog’s coat does NOT keep them cool in hot weather. Hair is insulation, it traps body heat and slows heat loss. The thicker or longer the coat, the harder it is for dogs to cool down.

⚠️ Higher-risk dogs include:
• Large breeds
• Thick or dark-coated dogs
• Overweight, unfit or older dogs
• Flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds
• Dogs with heart or respiratory issues
• Very active dogs

💡 Practical management tips:
• 🌅 Walk early morning or late evening only
• 🔥 Avoid hot pavements/tarmac
• 🏠 Keep dogs cool indoors during peak heat
• 💧 Provide constant access to fresh water
• ✂️ Consider clipping long/thick coats
• 💦 Use water, paddling pools or cooling aids carefully
• 🚗 Never leave dogs in cars, Ever!
• 🌱 Be cautious of artificial grass, which can become much hotter than real grass

🚨 Signs of heatstroke (medical emergency):
• Heavy panting or restlessness
• Excessive drooling/thirst
• Red or purple gums/tongue
• Weakness, collapse or seizures

❗ If suspected: WET THEN VET!
Immediately cool the dog with cold water and seek veterinary help ASAP — rapid cooling saves lives.
