Guernsey Police & GSPCA advice for dog and animal owners with hot weather

Submitted by Steve on 08:52, 2nd Jun, 2017 | 0

As the weather become increasingly warmer, people in Guernsey are being reminded not to leave their dogs alone in a car on a warm day.

Many people may think that it’s ok to leave a dog in a car on a warm day if the windows are left open or they’re parked in the shade, but the truth is, it’s still a very dangerous situation for the dog.  Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager said:

“It can get unbearably hot in a car on a sunny day, even when it’s not that warm.  When it’s 22 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 47 degrees within an hour.”

The GSPCA would like to thank the finder and Guernsey Police for helping us track down the wildlife camera that went missing just over a week ago.

The camera which is one being used trying to help find Bertie the stray dog was removed from its location near Vale Church.

The camera was found in the long grass on L'Ancresse common.

The GSPCA and owners of Bertie the stray Schnauzer have located cameras in locations near to where he has been seen.

Sadly we have been unable to get any photographic evidence of Bertie who went missing in November.
