With four Whippets and two cats, it’s been really interesting watching how each of them copes with this hot weather.

The one handling the heat the best? Surprisingly, my long-haired cat! He’s quite happily spending time outside in a spot of partial shade, looking completely comfortable.

It just goes to show that a long coat isn’t simply there to keep an animal warm in winter. A healthy, well-maintained coat acts as insulation, helping to regulate body temperature in both hot and cold weather. It helps protect the skin from direct sunlight and reduces the amount of heat reaching the body.

It’s something to think about before having your pet clipped very short during the summer. While removing matted or excessively thick fur is important, taking too much coat away can actually make it harder for some pets to regulate their body temperature and can increase their risk of sunburn.

🐾 Some simple ways to help keep your dogs and cats cool:

• Always provide plenty of fresh, cool drinking water.
• Ensure they have access to shade throughout the day.
• Walk dogs very early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are much lower.
• Never force exercise in hot weather, it’s far better to skip a walk than risk heatstroke.
• Use cooling mats or allow them to paddle safely in cool water if they enjoy it.
• Keep indoor areas well ventilated with fans or open windows where it’s safe to do so.
• Brush regularly to remove loose undercoat and improve airflow through the coat, rather than shaving it off.
• Trim the fur between your dog’s paw pads if it’s becoming long. Dogs release heat through their paw pads, so keeping the hair between them neat can help improve contact with cooler surfaces and make it easier for the paws to do their job.
• Remember that cats often choose the coolest places themselves, so let them move between shade and indoors if they wish.

Every pet is different. Older animals, flat-faced breeds, overweight pets and those with underlying health conditions are much more vulnerable to heat, so keep a close eye on them.

Sometimes nature has already designed our pets better than we realise. Their coat is often part of their own built-in temperature control system.

☀️ The recent heatwave has been heartbreaking. ☀️

Over the last few weeks, emergency veterinary services across the UK have reported treating hundreds of dogs suffering from heatstroke and dehydration.

What many people don’t realise is that most cases of heatstroke don’t happen because dogs are left in hot cars. The majority occur after dogs have been walked or exercised in hot weather.

Research has shown that around 1 in 7 dogs diagnosed with heat-related illness sadly do not survive.

As someone who works with dog owners every day, I have been genuinely shocked to see dogs still being walked during the hottest parts of the day and brought into shops when temperatures have been dangerously high. Sadly, many owners still don’t appreciate just how quickly heatstroke can develop.

Please remember:
• If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog to exercise.
• Hot pavements can burn paws in seconds.
• Dogs don’t need a walk every day during a heatwave, they do need to stay alive.
• Walk early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are much cooler.
• Provide plenty of fresh water, shade and opportunities to rest.

Heatstroke is a genuine veterinary emergency, but it’s also one of the most preventable.

If this post encourages just one person to leave the lead at home during the next hot day, it could save a dog’s life.

After watching the BBC News this morning, which featured a report on dogs worrying and attacking livestock and other animals, I thought it was a good opportunity to share this guidance from the RSPCA and Dogs Trust.

As responsible dog owners, we all have a duty to ensure our dogs never harm or chase other animals. Even the friendliest dog can act on instinct, and what may seem like harmless chasing can cause serious injury, distress, or even death to livestock and wildlife.

Keeping dogs under close control, especially around farm animals and wildlife, isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s part of being a considerate and responsible owner.

Please take a moment to read and share this advice. A little awareness can make a huge difference in protecting animals, supporting our farmers, and keeping our dogs safe too. ❤️🐾

Heatstroke misinformation could put your dog’s life at risk.

My social media feeds are full of well-meaning advice about canine heatstroke, but unfortunately not all of it is accurate. Some posts are AI-generated, based on outdated information, or simply repeat myths that are no longer recommended.

The latest veterinary guidance is clear: acting quickly and correctly can save a dog’s life.

✅ If you suspect heatstroke:

🧊 Cool immediately using cold water. Pour it over your dog, spray them, or immerse them in shallow cold water if appropriate.

🚗 Transport your dog to the nearest veterinary practice while continuing active cooling using cold water, fans or air conditioning.

☎️ Call your vet as soon as cooling has started. Heatstroke is a veterinary emergency and every minute matters.

One of the biggest dangers is delaying treatment because of incorrect advice shared online.

Please take a moment to check that the information you’re sharing comes from trusted veterinary sources. A simple social media post could genuinely influence someone’s actions in an emergency.

Let’s help spread facts, not myths, and keep more dogs safe this summer. ❤️🐾
