Police Dogs Die in Hot Car

You may have heard that on Tuesday, two police dogs died after being left in a car by their handler in Nottinghamshire.
The temperatures in the UK at the moment are regularly pushing 30 degrees Celsius, and with the NHS issuing advice to everyone to keep cool, we really should be applying the same advice to our pets!
Everyone knows how uncomfortable it is entering your car when it has been sat in the sun all day, almost unbearable sometimes. If pets are left in these conditions with no ventilation or water, they will suffer greatly and it may be fatal.
A spokesperson the The Dogs Trust charity commented that they were greatly saddened by this incident and reminded dog owners that it can take just 20 minutes for these conditions to prove fatal to a dog when locked away in a car. During a heatwave like the one we are experiencing now, temperatures within cars can reach in excess of 40 degrees C.
Please be extra careful when transporting your pets in these conditions, make sure you can keep them cool and always make sure they stay hydrated.

Enjoy the lovely weather!!
Best Wishes
