While your cat enjoys lounging in the garden, providing a safe and enjoyable environment is essential.

🐱 Check for Shade: Ensure your garden has shaded areas where your cat can retreat from the sun's heat. Consider planting trees or installing umbrellas or awnings to create cool spots.
🐱 Safe Plants: Be mindful of the plants in your garden, as some can be toxic to cats if ingested.
🐱 Water Source: Place a shallow water bowl or fountain in the garden to keep your cat hydrated during outdoor excursions.
🐱 Fence Security: If your garden is enclosed by a fence, regularly inspect it for any gaps or loose areas where your cat could escape. Ensure the fence is cat-proof to prevent accidental escapes.
🐱 Supervised Play: While your cat may enjoy exploring the garden independently, always supervise outdoor time to ensure their safety. Keep an eye out for potential hazards and intervene if necessary.

With these tips, you can create a cat-friendly garden where your furry friend can enjoy the summer sunshine safely! 🌿😺

How you deal with a dog suffering from heatstroke. 🌊🏥👇

Quickly wet the dog with cool water around 15 degrees (not freezing cold). If not available, any water that is cooler than the dog’s skin feels.

Cool water, around 15°C, is ideal, but any water will help. If you only have soft drinks, ensure they don't contain xylitol, and avoid pouring them on the dog's head. Wetting the dog will promote cooling through evaporation. Do this before taking them to the vet but don't spend too much time on it.

Afterward, contact the vet and inform them about the situation and how long it will take you to arrive. This allows the vet's team to prepare for your dog's arrival and increases their chances of receiving prompt treatment.

Avoid using wet towels on the dog as they can trap heat. However, specialised cooling vests that function through evaporation are suitable.

🚫🥵 On a hot day, a conservatory is hotter. Twice as hot to be exact!

Keep them cool and safe this summer by avoiding the conservatory trap. 🏞️❌

Whether it's scorching outside or just warm, remember: pets deserve shade, water, and a comfy indoor oasis. 🌿💦

Beat the heatwave and let them chill with you inside! 🏠❤️

While the air temperature might seem bearable, remember that the pavement can be scorching hot for our furry friends' paws 🔥

⚠️ If you can't hold the back of your hand to the pavement for 5-7 seconds, it's too hot for your dog's delicate paws.

Protecting your pet's paws is key during the summer months. Opt for walks during cooler times of the day and stick to grassy areas where possible.

Attention Horse Owners 🐴

We have had a single confirmed case of Strangles diagnosed.

At present we believe this to be contained and the likelihood of spread is low.

However, we would advise all horse owners to be vigilant and to observe Bio-security measures at their yards or when visiting other yards/horses. We would advise at this time that movements between yards, lessons and competitions are halted.

Strangles is a respiratory disease which only affects horses and presents usually as a purulent nasal discharge, often with a cough and swollen 'glands' behind or under the jaw.

Please do not ask us for any further information as to where it is as we are unable to tell you.

For further information about strangles & bio-security measures, please go to https://liphookequinehospital.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Strangles-Web.pdf
