Temperatures are set to soar in Glasgow in the coming days, with the Met Office predicting highs of around 20 degrees Celsius.
With the increased heat, pet owners have been warned by the RSPCA to take extra care of their four-legged friends and make sure they do not become dehydrated.
The animal charity has urged dog owners to be careful when walking their pets in high temperatures.

RSPCA dog welfare specialist Esme Wheeler said: “The truth is walking dogs in hot weather can be a silent killer.
“While the majority would never leave our dogs in a car on a hot day, or even take our dogs for a really long walk in the heat, many people may still be putting their dogs at risk even on a short walk, or taking them to places such as fields and beaches with little or no shade.
“We have long-campaigned that dogs die in hot cars, but this year we’re highlighting that dogs die on hot walks, too. The message remains very simple – never leave a dog in a hot car because ‘not long’ is too long, and when it comes to walks, ‘if in doubt, don’t go out.’”
In an effort to help their pet stave off the heat, one shopper took to B&M and bought a £6 Pet Crate Fan.
The product attaches onto pet cages, and according to the product description can "help keep your pet cool this summer".
Sharing news of the product, they wrote in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group: "Another bargain today i have two dogs who sleep in crates at night so these will help keep them cool B&M".
It wasn't long before the post had racked up over 550 likes and a staggering 1,600 comments from concerned pet owners and B&M fans giving their thoughts.
One shared: "I bought this and used it today for my indoor bunny, although she runs around the house she goes to bed in her cage. I used this in her cage today and it did just the job. Happy bunny."
"What a good idea," wrote a second, while a third agreed: "Good idea for summer".
"I need this for the side of my bed," joked a fourth.
A fifth wrote: "That's an awesome idea will go today and get one thank you".
However, not everyone was a fan of the product, with one commenting: "I bought 2 of these for in my car when they are in the boot don’t find them that good quite Loud and don’t give much air."
"The batteries don’t last very long," argued a second.
