With temperatures soaring across the UK, it’s important to help our furry friends stay safe and comfortable.

🐶 Dogs
• Walk early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.
• Always provide fresh water and access to shade.
• Cooling mats, damp towels, and paddling pools can help them beat the heat.
• Never leave dogs in parked cars, even for a few minutes.

🐱 Cats
• Ensure plenty of fresh water is available throughout the home.
• Create cool resting spots away from direct sunlight.
• Wet food can help increase their water intake.
• Groom regularly to remove excess fur and improve airflow through the coat.

🐰 Small Animals (Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters & More)
• Move hutches and enclosures out of direct sunlight.
• Provide frozen water bottles wrapped in towels for them to lie beside.
• Ensure constant access to fresh water.
• Monitor closely for signs of heat stress, as small pets can overheat very quickly.

⚠️ Signs of heatstroke can include excessive panting, lethargy, drooling, wobbliness, and collapse. If you’re concerned about your pet, contact your vet immediately.

Stay cool and stay safe! 🌡️🐾

🐾 Kennel Cough Facts 🐾

Many dog owners have heard of kennel cough, but the name can be deceiving & most owners believe that kennel cough can only be contracted in kennels!

Have a read through the myths and facts of kennel cough;

❌ MYTH: "My dog doesn't go into kennels, so they don't need the vaccine."
✅ FACT: Kennel cough is an airborne virus, therefore it can be spread anywhere dogs meet other dogs. It can be spread through meeting in parks, on walks, doggy daycare and training classes.

❌ MYTH: "Kennel cough is just a mild cough."
✅ FACT: While many dogs experience a mild illness, kennel cough can sometimes lead to more serious respiratory infections, particularly in puppies, senior dogs, and those with underlying health conditions.

❌ MYTH: "The vaccine causes kennel cough."
✅ FACT: As many of the kennel cough vaccines are live, some dogs may develop mild, short-lived symptoms after vaccination. However the vaccine does not give your dog kennel cough. It helps train the immune system to fight the most common causes of the disease.

💉 What is the Kennel Cough Vaccine?
The kennel cough vaccine helps protect against Bordetella bronchiseptica & Canine parainfluenza virus (CPiV). Most dogs receive the vaccine as a quick and painless nasal spray, however this depends on which product is being used.

🐶 Why Vaccinate?
✔ Reduces the risk of infection
✔ Helps lessen the severity of symptoms if your dog does become infected
✔ Protects vulnerable dogs in the community
✔ Often required for boarding kennels, daycare facilities, and training classes

Remember, no vaccine can provide 100% protection against every cause of kennel cough, but vaccination remains one of the best ways to reduce your dog's risk and help keep our canine community healthy.

If you're unsure whether your dog's kennel cough vaccination is up to date, contact our team—we're happy to help!

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for
our fluffy companions.

🔍Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh. Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and living environment, especially during warmer months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or
unusual behaviour.

✅Prevention is key: ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike
prevention methods recommended by your vet.

🚨If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary assistance
immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well-being of your furry friend!

🚗☀️ Not Long. Not Worth The Risk. ☀️🚗

Never leave your dog in a parked car — even for “just a few minutes.”

Cars can heat up dangerously fast, even on mild days, and leaving windows open or parking in the shade does not keep pets safe.

🐾 Dogs can quickly suffer from heatstroke, which is a life-threatening emergency.

🚨 Signs of heatstroke include:
• Heavy panting
• Excessive drooling
• Weakness or collapse
• Vomiting
• Bright red gums

Dial 999 if you spot a dog in a hot car, the police will advise you on what to do in the situation.

If you can’t take your dog inside with you, the safest option is to leave them at home where they can stay cool and comfortable ❤️

Please help us spread the message and keep pets safe this summer.
