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 concerned for the welfare of wildlife in the hot weather so please put out water and pond advice
With the current hot weather our wildlife see many challenges and every day at the GSPCA we are rescuing animals suffering from the lack of food and water, as well as those sick and injured.
It makes such a difference to put out a bowl of water for our birds, hedgehogs and other wild animals that visit your garden.
GSPCA Urges Pet Owners to Take Care as Temperatures Rise
With temperatures set to rise over the coming days, the GSPCA is urging all pet owners and animal lovers to take extra precautions to keep animals safe, cool, and comfortable during the warmer weather.
Hot weather can pose serious risks to pets and wildlife alike, and simple steps can make a life-saving difference.
Protecting Dogs and Other Pets
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.

The GSPCA is also aware that many of our ponds around the island which are homes to an array of wildlife will suffer due to the warm weather and lack of rain.
For those with ponds here are some helpful tips to protect it:
