As the heatwave is set to continue, I dont know about you but I am struggling a bit! I usually love the heat but I think I have reached my threshold!
And how are your pets faring during heat? Just like us they all have their own level of tolerance but its important to look out for any worrying signs and act quickly if treatment is needed
Prevent, by keeping them indoors at the hottest times
Using cool mats
Ensuring water is always available
Allowing them a cool calm environment to just chill
Heat can also affect emotional wellbeing as well, with some dogs being more reactive than normal, getting more anxious, restless, not sleeping and increased panting
Our animals trust us implicitly so sometimes the kindest thing we can can offer them is patience, presence and permission to just be...listening to their body language, recognising when they need rest and understanding that slowing down can be healing... if in doubt always seek medical attention
Right I am off for a cold shower!!
