As temperatures rise and long summer days set in, it's not just us humans who feel the heat—our pets do too. July is officially National Pet Hydration Awareness Month in the UK, and it's the perfect reminder that hydration is vital to your pet’s health and wellbeing. Just like you wouldn’t head out on a sunny day without a bottle of water, your furry companions need extra attention to stay hydrated—whether lounging at home, playing in the garden, or accompanying you on adventures.

Backyard BBQs are a summer staple—filled with mouthwatering aromas, sizzling grills, and the laughter of friends and family. But for pets, the experience can be overwhelming, confusing, and even dangerous. While you’re enjoying burgers and beverages, your furry friend may be dealing with heat, anxiety, or an unsafe environment.

Thankfully, with a few smart precautions, you can keep your pet calm, cool, and protected while still enjoying the summer cookout vibes. Here’s everything you need to know to host a pet-friendly barbecue that’s safe, relaxing, and even a little fun for your four-legged guests.

Warm weather is a welcome change for many of us—but for our dogs, it comes with serious health risks. As temperatures rise, even short walks can expose your pet to the dangers of heatstroke, burnt paws, and dehydration.

So how hot is too hot to walk your dog? The answer might surprise you—and it’s crucial for your pet’s safety.

Summer brings long days, bright sunshine, and plenty of opportunities for fun adventures with your furry best friend. But while the season is full of good times, it also presents a number of seasonal hazards that can put your pet’s health at risk. From hot sidewalks to backyard BBQs, summer can be tougher on pets than we often realise.
