As the weather hots up in the UK, temperatures are likely to soar as high as 32C. The heat puts dogs at risk of dehydration and heatstroke, so it's important that owners do all they can to protect them in the warm weather.
Sean McCormack, head vet at tails.com, urges pet owners to keep sun exposure to a minimum and advises using sun cream on sensitive areas of the body. Sean says: "Not all dogs are smart enough to go in the shade and stay out of the sun, so try to be observant when your dog is outside on hot days."
Like humans, dogs can get sunburn if their skin is exposed to the hot sun for too long reports the Mirror. Sean added: "Some dogs are more prone to burn than others, such as those with thin hair, or with areas of less hair and more exposed skin.
