🔥 🌞 HOT WEATHER UPDATE 🌞 🔥
Just a friendly reminder that with the warmer temperatures, adjustments to walks continue to be necessary to keep all doggos safe.
This might mean losing a little bit of convenience that the usual schedule brings, as walks have and will be brought forward and shortened on hotter days. They may even be cancelled completely.
Heatstroke happens quickly and is incredibly dangerous. We will never put any dog at risk for the sake of a walk.
Some of the changes that have been put in place already include:
- Bringing walks forward to earlier in the morning and reducing duration if necessary
- Opting for areas with natural shade and fresh water sources
- Reducing travelling time and combining dogs who are calmer together
- Slowing the pace and taking regular breaks
Afternoon walks have been postponed until it cools down. Drop in visits and daycare continue to replace these walks and are limited so please book in advance!
If in any doubt about why this approach is important, please remember that dogs heat up quickly when playing with their pals and they aren’t usually too sensible about their own wellbeing! They’re just having too much fun.
Feel free to get in contact if you have any questions.
Stay safe and enjoy the glorious sunshine ☀️ 🐕
