The RSPCA and other charities are warning against exercising dogs in hot weather and meanwhile greyhounds are expected to race in 33°C. So cruel.

Another reminder to be mindful of your dogs in this heat. No dog has died from missing a walk, but they can easily get heatstroke running around in this weather!

As temperatures rise, so do the risks for our feline friends. We see more cases of cats falling from windows during heatwaves. 😔 Please keep windows secure with cat-safe screens and don't leave them unsupervised on balconies. Read more here 👇independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Keep windows secured and supervise balconies in hot weather. 📢 Apricot was just three months old when she fell from a window and broke her leg. 💔 We are seeing an alarming number of cats falling from heights, and we anticipate that this will increase during hot weather.

Charities have renewed calls for a ban on greyhound racing after new figures confirmed another increase in track fatalities wp.me/p8Mk4U-11NX

RSPCA (England & Wales) (@rspca_official) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Statistics released by the GBGB reveal there were a total of 346 racing-related deaths and 3,809 injuries in greyhound racing in 2024💔 The gambling of their lives is unacceptable, and we are pleased to hear the Welsh Government's plans to advance the ban this autumn.

Unlike humans, dogs cannot sweat. They rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and nose to regulate their body temperature. 🌡️ As temperatures rise, be aware of heatstroke signs and act quickly. Share this to help save lives. 👉 bit.ly/44zi9Jf

I thought we were a nation of animal lovers? I’m supporting a law to end puppy smuggling & animal mutilation, I’m hopeful it passes Friday 🤞 But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There’s much more to be done. Dogs Trust 💛🐶 RSPCA (England & Wales) Animal Aid bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"For thousands of animals, [summer’s] a season of pain, fear and suffering” Reports of animal cruelty rose by a third across England and Wales last summer, according to figures shared with the BBC bbc.in/4euHBGw

In 2024 alone, 3,809 greyhounds were injured and 346 died as a result of racing. These aren’t just stats - they’re lives lost for ‘entertainment'. We're working with other animal charities to call for a ban and #EndGreyhoundRacing in the UK for good. bit.ly/40qqNKU

We have long advocated for the licensing of animal rescues and shelters so it's great to see MPs coming together to support Richard Holden MP Animal Shelters (Licensing) Bill which is on the Order Paper today.

Blue Cross strongly supports the petition calling for the Government to introduce licensing of cat & dog rescues. Please sign so it can reach the 100,000 threshold for debate in Parliament: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7186…

Fantastic to see Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 Animal Welfare (Import of Cats Dogs and Ferrets) Bill pass its Third Reading in the UK House of Commons this morning - a great step forward for animal welfare! We will continue to support this important Bill as it passes though the House of Lords

I could not have asked for a better way to complete my first year as an MP today. Too many animals have been suffering at the hands of criminal abusers and as a vet, to see this bill pass means everything to me.
