Lots more chilled vibes today for our check ins, no playing but toilet breaks, water top ups and company. Short garden visits for sniffs & stretches but it's cooler inside although my car is definitely not! 🤣🥵😫

Cats get hot too but we're all looking out for eachother even then! 🤗😘

We've got fans, cooling matts which work well on their own or you can put them in the freezer for extra coolness, freezing cat yogurts and putting ice cubes in their water. Keeping curtains closed, windows adjar and now it's over 37 degrees keeping inside. Pavements and car parks are scorching on bare feet so it's better to be over cautious than risk burns which is the same for dogs also. It's also not just the temperature but the humidity. If we are complaining we are hot then just think about how they feel and can't communicate this. My reptile lights are also off/on breaks for them but also heating up indoors. By the weekend it's looking more normal again thankfully! X!

🚨 HEATSTROKE IN DOGS 🚨
Earlier today I had a call from a client in a panic because he suspected his dog was suffering from heatstroke. Thankfully the dog is okay, but it reminded me just how quickly this can happen and how important it is that dog owners know the signs and what to do.
🐶 Signs of heatstroke: • Excessive panting • Thick, sticky drool • Bright red gums or tongue • Rapid heartbeat • Weakness or lethargy • Vomiting or diarrhoea • Wobbling or collapsing • Confusion or disorientation • Seizures • Loss of consciousness
✅ What to do: • Move your dog to a cool, shaded area immediately. • Offer small amounts of cool (not ice-cold) water. • Pour cool water over their body, especially their belly, paws, armpits and inner thighs. • Use a fan if available. • Contact your vet immediately and continue cooling your dog on the way there.
❌ What NOT to do: • Don't use ice or ice-cold water. • Don't cover them with wet towels as this can trap heat. • Don't force them to drink. • Don't wait to see if they improve before calling a vet. • Don't exercise them again, even if they seem better.
The temperatures we've had recently might feel manageable to us, but our dogs can struggle very quickly. Please think carefully before walking your dog in hot weather. An early morning walk, a late evening stroll, or even a day off from walks is far safer than risking your dog's life.
Stay safe and keep those paws cool. ❤️🐾

Thank you for being patient today, it took longer to get all the check-ins in but we did! It's super important to keep pets cool this week. Wednesday and Thursday are supposed to be the hottest so walks are cancelled unfortunately but it's best for everyone's safety even my own- it's been sweltering today!

We've been keeping in the shade and limiting garden time, changing water for cool and fresh, treat games for enrichment and keeping fans on/blinds and curtains closed. Still being mindful even at home. Stay cool and stay safe, animals and humans! 💦 ☀️ 🏖️
