The RSPCA is urging dog owners to protect their pets during the current spell of hot weather. Temperatures hit 30C in Bristol over the weekend, with conditions set to remain warm this week.
Every summer, the pet charity receives hundreds of reports of animals suffering from the heat. Such incidents include dogs being left in hot cars, pets with heat burns on their paws, and dogs dehydrated or exhausted by the warmth.
The RSPCA is asking for all dog owners to be prepared. They have issued the following advice on how to look after your pooch this summer.
