☀️ URGENT PET SAFETY WARNING ☀️
With temperatures set to hit a scorching 30°C across Chorley, Leyland, and Coppull today, please keep your pets safe. Heat like this can become dangerous and even fatal, incredibly quickly.
Here is what you need to do today:
🏠 Keep them inside: Keep your pets indoors where it’s cool. Open windows can trap hot air, so keep curtains closed on sun-facing windows.
💧 Hydration is key: Offer plenty of fresh, cool water. Try dropping a few ice cubes in their bowl!
🚫 Skip the midday walks: Only walk your dogs at the coolest times of the day (early morning or late at night). If the pavement is too hot for the back of your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
🚨 REMINDER: We are CLOSED today for the Bank Holiday Monday.
If you have any emergencies or urgent concerns about your pet today, please call our emergency cover number immediately:
