GSPCA Continues Responding to Animals at Risk During Extreme Heat

The GSPCA is continuing to respond to concerns about animals being left in vulnerable situations during the current spell of hot weather in Guernsey, with calls ranging from animals left without adequate water, pets kept outdoors in direct sunshine, and dogs left in vehicles.

The charity is reminding islanders that regardless of whether a vehicle is parked in the shade or a bowl of water has been left for a dog, pets can still be placed at serious risk during periods of high temperatures.

GSPCA Urges Public to Provide Fresh Water for Hedgehogs and Wild Birds During Hot, Dry Weather

Submitted by Steve on 11:42, 1st Aug, 2025 | 0

With Guernsey experiencing a spell of hot and dry weather, the GSPCA is urging islanders to lend a helping hand to local wildlife by putting out clean, fresh water for hedgehogs, birds, and other wild animals.

The lack of rainfall and soaring temperatures can make it extremely difficult for wildlife to find the water they need to survive. Small animals such as hedgehogs are particularly vulnerable during dry spells, as their usual water sources evaporate or dry up completely. Birds, too, can struggle to stay hydrated, especially fledglings and nesting adults.
