This summer has been particularly hot and while humans are quite good at taking steps to keep cool, pets aren’t!

If you’re leaving your pets at home alone for long periods of time during the day, remember that keeping them cool is important. Some animals don’t cope well in warmer temperatures and others are less self-sufficient than you might realise.
