The RSPCA is urging millions of dog and other pet owners to act now to protect their animals.
With arctic temperatures spreading across the UK, the charity is urging people to do their bit to keep pets safe. Cold weather warnings are in place for much of this week, with some snow and sub-zero temperatures predicted.
RSPCA inspectorate commissioner Dermot Murphy told the ECHO: “It’s really important we help our animal friends get through the chilly weather, and we’ve got lots of helpful advice and tips available for people to make sure their own pets, and local wildlife, are kept safe."
