GSPCA WARNING HOT WEATHER – Take care of your pets with the hot weather, help wildlife & avoid walking dogs at peak times

Submitted by Steve on 09:30, 30th Jul, 2024 | 0

As summer continues the GSPCA are expecting to receive calls and reports from the public from dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight, wildlife in need and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets and how you can help wildlife.

With the extreme warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

Join in with #BringYourDogtoWorkDay #TakeYourDogToWorkDay Friday 21st June #WithoutUs #WithoutYou

Submitted by Steve on 10:14, 13th Jun, 2024 | 0

All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 some 3 legged friends come to work and this year Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places today, Friday 21st June.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?
