The SSPCA (Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) have issued a warning to pet owners in Glasgow.
In their Animal Welfare Weekly newsletter, which was sent to subscribers who have signed up to some of their e-mail alerts, the charity warned that with temperatures warming up in some areas, it is crucial that people take caution.
It comes as a Glasgow saw highs of 24C last week with temperatures set to continue into their mid-20s this week and into the weekend - a repeat of the last few days.
