When your dogs are so handsome they look photoshopped 💙

01/08/2026

Once school and work schedules restart, a lot of dogs go from company most of the day to a much bigger stretch home alone, often with no real warning it’s coming.

Getting a regular midday visit booked now means it’s one less thing to scramble for once the routine actually changes.

☀️ So… the hot weather is back again.

You’ve probably seen enough posts telling you not to walk your dog in the middle of the day, so here’s something a bit different…

Did you know being too hot can affect your dog’s behaviour?

Just like us, dogs can become more irritable, less patient and find it harder to concentrate when they’re uncomfortable. Puppies can become extra bitey because they’re tired and struggling to settle.

All behaviour is communication.

So if your dog seems a bit different over the next few days, ask yourself why.

Their body is working hard just to keep cool. That leaves them with less patience, less energy and a much smaller battery for coping with everyday life.

Over the next few days, lower your expectations. Swap long walks and endless ball throwing for calmer activities, enrichment and plenty of rest.

Sometimes your dog isn’t telling you they need more exercise.

They’re telling you they need to cool down.

Think very carefully before you take your dog on a walk this week. With a rare red heat warning being issued in parts of the UK, hot pavements and high temperatures can quickly put dogs at risk 💔

Please share this post to reach more dog owners.

Hold the back of your hand to the ground for several seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

Walk dogs during the coolest times of the day, such as early morning or late evening. On exceptionally hot days, it may be best to avoid walks altogether and instead focus on enrichment activities and keeping your dog cool and comfortable at home.
