WITH this hot weather reported to be getting hotter by the weekend, I would like to stress the dangers this brings, not only to our young, elderly and vulnerable, but all the animals in our care.

Every year we read of dogs left in cars, rabbits baking in hutches, and plenty of other pets suffering terrible injuries and sadly long painful deaths.

Please ensure you help your pets stay as cool as possible during this heatwave.
