Pets can suffer heatstroke even when resting, UK vets warn

With record-breaking temperatures sweeping through western Europe, UK vets are warning that pets are at risk of heatstroke even when they're not active or stuck in cars. Traditionally, heatstroke cases occurred after exertion or being left in hot vehicles, but now pets are succumbing to the intense heat while simply resting in their homes and gardens. This alarming trend underscores the need for pet owners to be vigilant about their animals' well-being, especially during extreme weather events. The ongoing heatwaves are a stark reminder of the urgent need for climate action to protect all living beings from the deadly impacts of global warming.
