Wildlife and animal protection groups are urging the public to do what they can to protect pets and other species amid rising temperatures.
Ulster Wildlife’s Director of Nature, Climate and Environment, Annika Clements, has urged people to provide watering stations for little visitors to their gardens.
Meanwhile the USPCA’s development manager, Colleen Tinnelly, has issued guidance about to keep cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, other pets and caged birds cool.
