Animal expert Dr Scott Miller advised pet owners to regulate their pet's temperatures and to never leave them in a car under any circumstance.
The UK has been hit with a red weather warning as temperatures are expected to soar to 40C, meaning a risk to life is likely. This Morning's pet expert, Dr Scott Miller, joined the show to advise pet owners on the incredible risks their cats and dogs now face and how to battle them.
Dr Scott said under absolutely no circumstances, should a pet be left alone in a car, even with a window open. He added: "It's not something we're used to. The temperature of a car can increase a degree in minutes. This means they can suffer catastrophic shock in minutes and they can't thermoregulate because they're breathing in such hot air."
