We have tips and advice on how to keep your dog cool in the summer, covering topics such as how to prevent your dog suffer heatstroke, how to exercise your dog in the hot weather, how to avoid your dog…Yesterday we had these little ones in for their 1st Vaccinations and Microchip!
They were all very brave little puppies and enjoyed all the attention.
All of these little ones already have new homes and will be soon off on their travels and causing mischief with their new families.
With today's hot temperatures and the expected hot weather forecast for the weekend, please make sure you don't leave your dogs in your cars!
As you can see from the RSPCA's diagram temperatures can easily increase and dogs are unable to cool themselves down.
