Appointments during the hot weather ☀️
As we are set to have some extreme heat in the next week we are making arrangements to move forward appointment times and reschedule where necessary.
We are reaching out to those with appointments booked to reschedule to ensure safe conditions for both your animals and yourselves as it’s going to get very hot.
We would like to take this opportunity to share some basic tips for keeping your animals safe in hot weather:
🐴 regularly hosing your horses down and leaving the water on help them to stay cool, along with ensuring they have constant access to plenty of water and shade if possible.
🐶 if taking your dog for a walk is something they can’t go without, ensure you do this very early in the morning where possible. The evenings are going to be very warm and tarmac pavements etc hold their heat for a long time. Walking your dog during the day must be avoided, and constant access to water is an absolute necessity.
🐴 if you are planning to work your horse, shortening their exercise session and reducing the intensity will help to prevent overheating and heat exhaustion
🐶 to keep your dog entertained and cool, you can make a frozen treat using a lick mat with your dogs favourite topping
