☀️ HOT WEATHER WARNING FOR PET OWNERS ☀️

As temperatures rise, it's important to take extra care of your pets.

🐾 Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when it's cooler.

🐾 Keep walks shorter than usual.

🐾 Avoid hot pavements and surfaces. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Watch out for paw hopping or reluctance to walk.

🐾 Always carry fresh water and offer regular drinks.

⚠️ Know the signs of overheating:

• Heavy panting
• Excessive drooling
• Lethargy
• Vomiting

🚨 HEAT STROKE IS A VETERINARY EMERGENCY 🚨

Signs of heat stroke include:

🔴 Red gums or tongue
🔴 Excessive panting
🔴 Weakness
🔴 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🔴 Collapse

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke:

✅ Move them to a cool, shaded area
✅ Begin cooling them with cool (not ice-cold) water
✅ Contact your vet immediately

Quick action can save your pet's life.

Please help keep your furry friends safe during the warmer weather. ❤️🐾

We are at the start of another heatwave🌞

Here are our top tips for the extreme heat we are experiencing.

These are some simple steps you we can take to reduce the risk of your pets developing heatstroke.

Walk your dogs at cooler times of day

Make sure to walk your dogs during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late evening) and avoid exercising during the heat of the day. Always supervise any activity – some dogs may have too much fun and not know when to stop! Check the pavements aren’t too hot as they can burn your dogs’ paws too.

Always have fresh drinking water

Your pet should always have access to clean and fresh drinking water. You might find that your pet drinks more than usual during the hot weather, so make sure to keep them topped up!

Shade and well-ventilated areas

Shaded and well-ventilated areas are crucial for your pet during warm weather. This includes both animals that are housed indoors and outdoors.

Risk of sunburn

Pets such as cats can be at risk of sunburn, especially hairless breeds, or those with white or thin fur. Use a pet-safe sunscreen on vulnerable body areas and ask your vet for advice if needed.

Never leave your pet in a hot car or room

Temperatures within cars and rooms within your house e.g. a conservatory can rise to dangerously high levels very quickly, even on cooler days. Never leave your pet in a room or a car that is likely to get hot!

Watch out for signs of heatstroke

If your pet is showing signs of heatstroke such as heavy panting, drooling, restlessness, and lack of coordination, please contact your vet immediately. Heatstroke in pets is an emergency and can result in organ failure and in some cases, even death.

PET TRAVEL TO THE EU – New Changes are effective from 22nd of April 2026

If you are planning to travel to the EU with your pet this year, there are some important rule changes you need to know about.

From 22 April, new EU rules have changed how GB residents travel with their pets. The good news is that holidays are still possible, but the process has changed.

Pet passports are now affected.

EU pet passports can only be issued and used by people whose main residence is within the EU. This means that pet passports held by GB residents are no longer valid for travel to the EU, even if they were issued before 22 April 2026.

EU pet passports should also not be used by people who only have a holiday home in the EU or visit seasonally.

So what does this mean?

If you are travelling from Great Britain to an EU country with your dog, cat or ferret, you will now need an Animal Health Certificate instead.

Please do not leave this until the last minute. An Animal Health Certificate needs to be arranged in advance, and leaving it too late could affect your travel plans.

Our team is here to help. We can advise you on the new requirements and guide you through exactly what you need to do so that everything is in place before you travel.

If you have a trip coming up, get in touch, and we will make sure you and your pet are fully prepared.
