The RSPCA has issued a warning to pet owners about incoming heat. Esme Wheeler, RSPCA dog protection expert, said: “The truth is that dogs walking in hot weather can be a silent killer. “While most would never leave our dogs in a car on a hot day, or even take our dogs for a very long walk in the heat, many people may still put their dogs in danger even in a short walk or take them to places like fields and beaches with little or no shade. “We have been campaigning for a long time for dogs to die in hot cars, but this year we are emphasizing that dogs also die in hot walks. The message remains very simple – never leave a dog in a hot car because ‘not long’ is too long. and when it comes to walks, “if in doubt, do not go out.” Matt Mathers June 14, 2022 3:50 PM 1655216930
