Hello,

With the summer sun shining, it’s the perfect time for adventures with your pets—but also the time to make sure they stay cool, safe, and happy.

This month’s update has seasonal pet care tips, a fun online course for kids, and a spotlight on our fantastic Bridgwater pet care team!

🌞 Top Tips for Keeping Pets Cool

  • Avoid the midday heat – Walk dogs early morning or late evening.
  • Plenty of fresh water – Keep bowls topped up and take water on outings.
  • Shaded rest areas – Indoors or outdoors, make sure pets have cool spots to relax.
  • Watch for signs of heat stress – Heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, or wobbling mean it’s time to cool them down and call your vet.
  • Never leave pets in cars – Even with windows open, cars can become dangerously hot in minutes.
