RSPCA – The RSPCA’s Top Tips for Keeping Pets Cool

  • Provide ample shade for your pets in the backyard and multiple water sources.
  • Never leave pets tethered in backyards – they can get tangled, leaving them unable to reach water and shade.
  • Keep pet playtime and daily walks to early morning and late afternoon. Avoid hot bitumen for doggy paw pads!
  • Never leave pets unattended in cars – cars turn into ovens within a matter of minutes.
  • Make sure dogs in Utes have shade, water, and can’t burn their feet on hot trays.
  • Keep careful eye on flat face breeds as they are prone to overheating.
  • Make sure your livestock, hens and horses all have shade and water too.
  • Move small pet enclosures for birds, guinea pigs and fish, out of the direct sun

How to make your yard dog and koala friendly

· Give your dog its own play area fenced off from the rest of the yard
