Is it too hot for my cat? With parts of the UK set for hot weather this week, it is worth knowing how to help your cat stay safe and comfortable.

Some cats feel the heat more than others, especially older cats, kittens, cats with health conditions, and flat-faced breeds.

Make sure they have plenty of fresh water, cool shaded spaces, and somewhere quiet to rest away from direct sun.

Save this vet guide to help you spot when your cat may be struggling in the heat, and how to keep them cool at home.

With temperatures expected to reach 34°C today, please avoid walking your dog in the heat.

Even a short walk can put dogs at risk of heatstroke, especially older dogs, puppies, flat-faced breeds, overweight dogs, and dogs with health conditions.

Instead, keep them cool at home with fresh water, shaded spaces, cool mats, gentle enrichment, and toilet breaks during the coolest parts of the day.

If your dog is heavily panting, drooling, weak, confused, vomiting, or struggling to breathe, call your vet immediately.

Today, skipping the walk is the safest choice.
