Don’t get the summertime blues!

Play it cool! The Summer heat is also a huge problem for many pets and it is essential to ensure free access to water at all times. Dogs – can easily overheat – leading to heat stroke, with signs of panting, disorientation, collapse and sometimes even death. To keep dogs safe, we suggest shorter walks in the coolest parts of the day – either early morning or very late evening.
