Pets do suffer from the heat and whether a dog, cat or bird they can still get sunburnt or even dehydrated. So what are the best steps that you can follow to protect your pets from the Australian summer season?

1. Shade

Seems simple but how much shade does your pet actually have? If it is a 35°C day and you leave you pet outside, do they have a cool area? Our pets feel the heat as much as we do, so investing in a fan or cooling mat for your pet will make this summer more enjoyable for your pets.

2. Water

All pets need plenty of water for hydration this summer. Fresh and cold water that is available all day. Other options are frozen ice blocks that they can play with and drink whilst it defrosts.
