Although many of us are basking in the warm weather, for our furry friends the conditions can be a little less fun.
The DSPCA have given some excellent advice on how best to care for your pet during this period of hot weather. Pets can easily become over heated and dehydrated, so we need to make sure we pay special attention to them during the warm spell.
Speaking to Dublin Live, DSPCA spokeswoman Gillian Bird said that the warm weather can be tough on our pets. She said: "It's a hard time for pets, there's a lot of things people don't think to do when it comes to the warm weather and their pets."
