Dog Lockdown Alert for Extreme Heat

With temperatures hitting record highs, the RSPCA is urging pet owners to enact a 48-hour “dog lockdown” to prevent heatstroke and death. Experts warn that even short walks or playtime can be deadly in extreme heat, and missing a few walks is worth it to save your pet’s life. Keep pets indoors, provide shade and fresh water, and avoid strenuous activity. Don’t forget: dogs die in hot cars — call 911 if you see one. For rabbits and guinea pigs, move enclosures to shaded spots and monitor water. Know the signs of heatstroke — panting, drooling, vomiting — and act fast.
