As we soak up the remaining weeks of summer, BBQs remain a favourite way to gather with friends and family. While they're a great source of fun, it’s important for pet owners to stay mindful, because BBQs can pose hidden risks for our furry companions.

Here are 5 top tips to help keep your pets safe during BBQ season:

🐾 Keep pets at a distance - It’s best to keep them well away from the grill or, ideally, inside the house. Open flames, hot surfaces, and heat exposure can lead to burns or overheating.

🐾 Store BBQ tools safely - Skewers, matches, lighter fluid, and cleaning products should be kept securely out of reach.

🐾 Provide plenty of fresh water - The heat can quickly dehydrate pets. Always ensure they have access to clean, cool water.

🐾 Skip the BBQ scraps – As tempting as it is, greasy meats and bones can upset your pet’s stomach or cause more serious issues.

🐾 Supervise and offer a retreat – Always keep an eye on your pet, and provide a quiet, shady space where they can relax if things get too lively.

Send this to fellow pet owners so we can all enjoy the last bit of summer safely together 🥰

💔 Sadly our animal welfare officer was called to a deceased black & white male cat after it was seen to be hit by a car on Menzies Road, Dover.
He has been taken to Vets for Pets, Whitfield. We're hoping to find the owner as he wasn't microchipped. 💔

Meet Beans 🐾

This sweet natured 2year old female has just come into our care after her owners could no longer look after her.

She will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped in the next few weeks to get ready for her new home 💗

Keep a look out on RSPCA Pet Search for her adoption details

Last year, we had 1,355 reports of animals trapped in netting, which could have been avoided.

Putting away netting after you've finished playing sports is one of the easy everyday ways to help create a better world for animals ⚽

"I love gulls. I love seeing them gliding gracefully or waddling around on the beach. I love their distinctive squawk - it immediately conjures up visions of buckets and spades and ice cream..." 🍦

While our 'Gulls are lovers, not fighters' billboard campaign is getting people in a flap, our Wildlife Partnerships Manager, Geoff, dives into why we're here for every kind - even those that people aren't such a fan of: https://bit.ly/3IdjQH3
