A heatwave warning has been issued for Scotland and across the UK. With this news it is not only vital to protect yourself, but that your furry friends are shielded from extreme heat.
With the news of soaring temperatures, vets are today urging owners to keep their pets safe from the sun, as it can pose a range of adverse health risks for a range of animals.
One pet to watch out for in particular is the rabbit. In high heat, bunnies are at risk of seasonal conditions such as flystrike and heatstroke. In the worse case, rabbits can die if over-exposed to the hot sun.
