Dogs are more likely to require veterinary treatment following walks on a hot day compared to being left in a very warm car, experts have warned.
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has warned pet owners of the risks of taking their beloved pooches out on walks during exceedingly hot temperatures.
As part of their campaign, they say that owners run the risk of giving their dog heatstroke if they are not aware of the dangers during the summer months.
