Some important advice for dog owners
Temperatures are set to plummet in the coming days with the animal charity offering advice to those looking to take the best care of their dogs. As reported by our Liverpool Echo colleagues, RSPCA Inspectorate commissioner Dermot Murphy has spoken on the matter.
Mr Murphy said: “It’s really important we help our animal friends get through the chilly weather, and we’ve got lots of helpful advice and tips available for people to make sure their own pets, and local wildlife, are kept safe."Additionally, antifreeze and rock salt are commonly used at this time of year and can be poisonous to pets. It's important to keep any stored products out of their reach.
If you’re concerned your pet may have ingested anything they shouldn’t, you should speak to your vet immediately. You should also dry any pets who get wet or cold, with a towel and make sure they have plenty of warm bedding.Mr Murphy added: "We don’t advise keeping dogs outside in any weather. Meeting the needs of dogs when they’re kept outside is very hard, and more so in very low temperatures.
"We recommend bringing dogs indoors and if not possible ensuring their dog has permanent access to a clean, comfortable and dry sleeping area with a safe heat source so the temperature does not drop below 10C.”
