Help & advice.
We believe all animals deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. And we know that owners sometimes need help and support too. We are keen to help where we can to support people and their pets.
Seasonal advice
Dogs die in hot cars
As the weather warms up and people are getting out and about more, we are reminding people not to leave dogs in warm and hot cars.
Even if you park in the shade or leave a window open, the temperature in your car can still rise to very dangerous levels and quickly become like an oven.
Nobody ever thinks its going to happen to them or their much loved pet, yet every year many people still gamble with their dog’s life and every summer dogs die in hot cars.
If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, dial 999 without delay.
