Summer is a great time for all, but dogs get heatstroke very quickly, they must have access to water throughout the day, if white they need to have either sunscreen on or wear a dampened tee shirt.

Concrete gets very hot and burnt pads are commonplace during summer, make an area that has good shade an if necessary place down a wet towel on the floor surface this allows the dog to keep cool and more mportantly keep pads burnt free.



If you have a dog in full coat ensure they do not overheat , look for excessive panting and bluing of the lips, tongue and gums. Hot spots increase in the heat, if you see fluffy scratch cut down that coat, it soon grows .

Karen...Is any suncream ok for my lolly pop?

Human stuff is but not brill so use above link to buy K9 sunscreen as this is better formulated for K9 skin .

Thanks Karen good advice as always...of course all this is on the premise it stays hot....I'm working this weekend 9-9 so my prediction is hot til Sunday whilst I'm stuck in stuffy hospital then cold and rainy for the rest of the summer! Mr Weatherman if you're reading feel free to prove me wrong...failing that any tips on Saturdays lottery numbers so I can be a lady of leisure and enjoy the sun all day would be much appreciated! xxx

hahaha I reckon this wont hold
