Dog owners have been urged to keep their pets cool this summer to avoid the heartbreak of losing a much-loved companion.

The RSPCA’s top tips to help keep your dog safe in the sun: 

1.      Your dog should always be able to move into a cooler, ventilated environment if he/she is feeling hot.

2.      Never leave your dog alone in a car. If you want to take your dog with you on a car journey, make sure that your destination is dog friendly – you won’t be able to leave your dog in the car and you don’t want your day out to be ruined. If leaving your dog at home is the best option because of the weather, always ensure that his/her needs are properly catered for.

3.      If you have to leave your dog outside, you must provide a cool, shady spot where he/she can escape from the sun at all times of the day.

4.      Make sure your dog always has a good supply of drinking water, in a weighted bowl that can’t be knocked over. Carry water with you on hot days and give your dog frequent, small amounts.

5.      Never leave your dog in a glass conservatory or a caravan. Even if it is cloudy when you leave, the sun may come out later in the day and could become unbearably hot.

6.      Groom your dog regularly to get rid of excessive hair. Give long-coated breeds a hair-cut at the start of the summer, and later in the season if necessary.

7.      Dogs need exercise, even when it is hot, but walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening. Never allow your dog to exercise excessively in hot weather.

8.      Dogs can get sunburned too – particularly those with light-coloured noses or light coloured fur on their ears. Ask your vet for advice on pet-safe sunscreens.

Most people are 'pig ignorant' when it comes to food labelling on pork products, according to a new poll commissioned by the RSPCA.

Take action for pigs

Please show your support and join us in Rooting for pigs!

Jamie says: "I very much support the RSPCA's 'Rooting for pigs' campaign as I think that the public needs clearer labelling when it comes to meat, particularly pork and bacon, as the variation in pig welfare across Europe and the world is so diverse," says Jamie.

"How many people outside of the industry know the difference between 'outdoor bred' and 'outdoor reared', for example? Not many."

Most of us already know what our carbon footprint is, but what about our Farm Animal Welfare Footprint? Visit www.animalwelfarefootprint.com & discover your farm animal welfare footprint.

We also believe that it is important to encourage your children to think about animal welfare so we have created a fun activity you can do with them. Create farm animal masks! But, don't worry as we have created four templates (a sheep, cow, pig and hen) for you to print.
