The nine dog breeds at greater risk of suffering heatstroke in the heatwave have been revealed by experts.
Dog owners are being urged to exercise caution in the soaring temperatures, with vets and the DSPCA issuing warnings to pet owners urging them to refrain walking dogs in the heat. Purebred dogs have twice the risk of crossbreeds - and according to experts, the nine dog breeds most at risk are varied.
Chow chow dogs lead the way, with a 17 times greater risk, followed by the bulldog at 14 times more likely to suffer heatstroke. French bulldogs and French mastiffs complete the top five with greyhounds, followed by King Charles spaniels, pugs, English springer spaniels, and then golden retrievers.
