As temperatures are forecast to soar over the next few days, a vet has warned to keep an eye on pet dogs for symptoms of heatstroke.
With the possibility of temperatures reaching as high as 34C in some areas in the coming days, Veterinary Physiotherapist Tilly Wild has warned overheating can potentially be fatal for our pets. All pets, including dogs, need to be protected from overexposure to the heat.
Dogs can develop heatstroke in high temperatures in the same way humans do. Vet Tilly warns that heatstroke can be a serious illness for dogs. Heatstroke can affect any breed or age of dog and pet owners should try to keep their pooches as cool as possible to avoid them getting ill. Tilly said: "Heatstroke is potentially fatal if not caught quick enough."
