HEATSTROKE WARNING!
We currently have 2 patients in the clinic with heatstroke, one of which is in a critical condition.
PLEASE do not take your dog out for a walk, a run around or boisterous play during this extreme heat. The critically ill patient was playing yesterday at 5pm for just 20 minutes, he was a young healthy strong dog who is sadly now in a comatose state. We are fighting hard to save him.
If you own a very old, very young, overweight or brachycephalic dog (short nosed like a pug, staffy or boxer) our advice would be not to take them out in this weather AT ALL: The risk is too high.
Please keep them cool, calm and indoors until this extreme heatwave passes.
