The SSPCA have sent a warning to dog owners amid an increase in reports of dogs suffering from heatstroke with some dying due to the high temperatures.
Despite the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning in Glasgow for tomorrow (July 27), today is set to see highs of 24C following a heatwave where the city basked in 30C last week.
With Scotland experiencing such weather, the Scottish SPCA and vets have issued warnings to owners urging them not to walk dogs in hot weather – or leave them in cars.
One owner was left devastated after her French Bulldog died from heatstroke and brain damage after a short walk in a field near Livingston last week, reports the Daily Record.
Laura Kyle, 32, found three-year-old Betty limp and unresponsive shortly after her walk and rushed her to the vet, where she was found to have overheated.
The pup was put to sleep later that day and now her owner wants her sudden death to serve as a warning to others about walking their dog in the heat.
Temperatures can rise fast in confined spaces…
