I qualified as a vet 22 years ago, today! I’m not sure how the time has gone so quickly but it’s been an incredible 22 years and feels like just yesterday. Life is precious and passes far too quickly for my liking, but what better reminder is there than a dog to show us how to live life to the fullest? Here’s to happy memories, past present and those yet to be made. 🐾

So HOT today! ☀️ Hope you’re all keeping cool (particularly your pets 🐾 ).
It was an early morning swim for Lumin today.

As the weather looks set to get warmer, please be mindful that in temperatures like this, it’s easy for dogs (particularly older dogs) to overheat. As they get older, they find it harder to regulate their body temperature so when they get too hot, it takes longer for them to cool down which can lead to serious complications and loss of life. In particular, dogs with flatter faces, extra large breeds, heavy coats or those who are overweight will all struggle more.

Here are some tips we use with our own dog. Although Lumin is still very young, she has a double coat making her more susceptible to heatstroke.

- keep exercise earlier and later in the day when it is usually cooler
- visit parks that have water access and lots of shade
- find cool spots in the home where they can rest or use cooling mats, wet towels and fans to provide relief
- avoid fetch and limit playtime games that can increase body temperature
- ensure water bowls are kept topped up

It’s advice we’re sure you’ve heard many times before but it’s worth repeating even if it helps to save just one pet’s life.

The best part of ending a holiday is knowing you’re going to be reunited with your best friend.
Thanks to family for taking good care of her.
