While we are on the subject of pets and heat lets not forget the Rabbits and Guinea Pigs in Hutches. Make sure the hutch is away from direct sunlight and for preference a nice run for them to lie in and plenty of water and shade.These pets are just as vulnerable to heat as dogs/cats. Pet Shops now sell a marble tile that your small furries can lie on to cool down as marble never warms up in the sun. Just thought the small furries should get a mention too For people using paddling pools I use the Argos sand pit and cover.That way I can have 2 and no they dont puncture
