Hot, Hot, Hot Dogs…

Hello, you lovely Pet Parent, you!

It’s hot and due to get hotter this week so just a few quick warm weather tips…

• Walk you dog when it’s cooler – early morning or later in the evening.
  
  
• If it becomes very hot you can give them a day off the walk – you’ll get whinged at but better safe.
  
  
• This is particularly true for older, unwell, unfit, and flat-face dogs. They are all at increased risk of heatstroke.
  
  
• Exercise and resultant overheating is the most common trigger for heat-related illnesses.
  
  
• Do be particularly aware of their water bowls and make sure they stay well filled.
  
  
• If you’ve got time, you could even fix them up a doggie ice lolly…

Here’s a really easy one  courtesy of Battersea and all you’ll need is:

1 apple
1 carrot
300ml water
Meaty treat stick
Cup for a mould
