We try and leave it until the evening to take our dogs out, or as you said sit in the shade and have a big bottle of water with us, they always appreciate it

But don't forget their noses too - althought they'll probably lick it off!

Cat with cancer from sunburn

yes thats so true noses and muzzles too need protecting

I just thought that not enough people are aware of how dangerous the heat can actually be to animals so thought would tell what i know of it to help people out with their pets over the next few months that could get very very hot

Your so right. You would not believe the amount of animals I have taken in with avoidable problems cause by people not doing just simple basics. This thread is a very good idea. Lets hope people take something away from it. BTW, love the pics of the dogs, very nice indeed.

Good thread - I've been evening walking too - another problem with this weather is the park is full of bleedin' footballers, picnics and drunk kids AND they leave their crap behind when they leave (unlike the dogs).

Be extra careful about leaving dog in cars too.

excellant point hun

please try not to leave animals in cars at all unless it is really needed and if it is make sure some form of air conditioning is on and windows have sunscreens on and leave some water too and dont leave for too long either

Dogs in cars, that reminds me. Did anyone see the episode of the SPCA and they attended some show. I am not sure what it was but they broke the window of a car to rescue a dog and it was too late. Just a couple of hours is all it took and he was gone. I do remember they were going to fine the owner but I think they just gave them a harsh warning as I think the mother of the car owner was so distressed she genuinely didn't know she had done anything wrong & was heart broken over their pet. It happens all the time though, but honestly, in this day and age whats they excuse?
