⚠️ EXTREME HEAT WARNING 🌡️☀️

As temperatures are set to rise significantly over the weekend and into next week, we would like to remind our clients of the serious risks that hot weather poses to pets and provide some helpful tips to keep them safe during this period of extreme heat. 🐾

💦 Keep pets cool and hydrated
Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water — more than one bowl if possible.
Ensure they have constant access to shade with good airflow — outdoors or indoors with fans/aircon.

🕒 Avoid heat exposure
Walk and exercise your pet either early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are coolest, DO NOT exercise them in the middle part of the day. Hot pavement, sand or asphalt can burn paw pads — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for theirs!!!!

❌ Never leave pets in cars
Even with windows open or parked in shade, cars can become a deadly oven in minutes.

🏠 Bring pets inside
If the indoor environment is cooler, bring them in. Good ventilation lets them pant effectively — crucial for cooling.

🩹 Outdoor pets & small animals
Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and other small pets are especially vulnerable — move them to cool, shaded, well-ventilated areas with water.

It’s important to remember that brachycephalic breeds (such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, English Bulldogs, Boxers etc.) are at a higher risk of heat stress due to their facial structure. These pets require extra special care during hot weather. We recommend keeping them indoors in the air conditioning and limiting exercise, as they have difficulty regulating their body temperature and cooling themselves effectively.

Just remember, if it’s too hot for you — it’s too hot for your pet. Be proactive to keep them hydrated, shaded and cool during this period and if you notice any signs of heat stress, contact your vet immediately 🐶🐱

With hot weather expected this week, if you can't hold the back of your hand to the pavement for more than a few seconds, it's too hot for your pet 🌞

Hot surfaces don't just burn their paws; the high air temperature can also lead to dangerous heatstroke, as dogs can't cool themselves down effectively 🥵

During hot weather, only take your dog for a walk outside early in the morning or later in the evening when it is cooler. You should also avoid walking on hot surfaces like pavements, asphalt or sand.

This advice is crucial for our more vulnerable companions, such as flat-faced breeds, seniors, young pups, or those with existing health problems.

If you think your pet has overheated or is suffering from heat-related issues, call an RSPCA veterinary hospital or your local veterinarian immediately ❤️

There will be fireworks tonight so please keep your pets inside where they will be safe and comforted.

New Year’s Eve is overrated. Just ask our dogs and cats! But seriously, those fireworks do represent a major hurdle for the hairiest family members to overcome.

So I’ve put together the easy NYE Pet Planner. Their easy guide to a more relaxed night and brighter start to 2026.

So here you go.

☺️ CREATE A SAFE SPACE:
It’s their boom-proof room: Notice where they like to rest when they’re overwhelmed. Then, add their bed, some cushions and blankets to that area. A laundry is perfect

🙈 BLOCK OUT THE TRIGGERS
Flashes and Booms be gone: In their safe space, close windows, blinds and curtains. Then add some white noise or background music. Classical music is shown to be calming

🍃 BRING THE CALM NATURALLY
Trust the proven helper: All the research shows that L-theanine (the hero ingredient in my Calm + Collected treats) given at least 1-2 hours before the fireworks effectively reduces anxiety signs. Without sedation.

💦 DO THE WASHING…SERIOUSLY
It’s familiar and calming: Yes, you read that right. Put a load of washing on at 830pm on NYE. And then again at 11:30pm. The noise and vibrations are familiar and also block out any of the rumbles coming from outside.

👑 BE A MODEL PARENT
They’re watching you! They’ll always take their lead from you. So if you’re relaxed, happy and up for fun, they will too. Don’t do their worrying for them. They’ll know!

And Happy New Year everyone!
