This is yet another heatwave-themed newsletter. But for a good reason. The UK has predicted that temperatures tomorrow are going to top 40 degrees.

That's a new record for the UK!

Here's a non-exhaustive list of things to do to keep your dog safe, cool and comfortable in extreme weather which I've tried and tested with Luna:

DO close blinds and curtains
DO open windows and doors
DO keep water bowls topped up with fresh cold water
DO get dog ice lollies
DO grab wet towels and place them on top of your dog
DO explore fun methods of hydration like catching water from a hose pipe (check Luna doing this in the top photo)
DO get the dog pool out
DO ensure your dog keeps shaded when resting
NEVER leave a dog in the car alone in warm weather
NEVER leave a dog home alone unventilated

That's all for this week, folks.

See you next week!
