A recent incident highlighted the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles during heatwaves, as a French Bulldog succumbed to heatstroke after being trapped in a car. With temperatures soaring to 34C in England, particularly in London and southeast regions, veterinary specialists, such as Aysha Kent from Blue Cross, strongly advise against traveling with pets in extreme heat. They emphasize the risks of heat-related illnesses, urging pet owners to prioritize their animals' safety during these high-temperature periods.
Aysha Kent, a vet at the Blue Cross, has urged owners to avoid travelling with pets during the upcoming heatwave, warning of the potentially fatal consequences.
The young French Bulldog was rushed to a Blue Cross animal hospital in central London after the owner got stuck in traffic and their pet collapsed in the car with heatstroke.
Warnings over extreme heat have been extended across much of England as temperatures are set to climb to 34C in one of the hottest June days on record.
The Met Office said temperatures would climb above 30C widely across England, including places such as Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol and Cambridge.
