Animal welfare charities are urging the public not to risk their dogs’ lives as the weather warms up and the Government lifts some of the lockdown restrictions in England.
The Dogs Die in Hot Cars coalition group has launched this year’s campaign just a week after the the restrictions were eased, prompting many to return to work while families were told they could go out in their cars for exercise and leisure again.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Blue Cross, British Parking Association, British Veterinary Association, Dogs Trust, The Kennel Club, The Mayhew Animal Home, National Animal Welfare Trust, The National Police Chiefs Council, PDSA, RSPCA, Scottish SPCA, #TeamOtisUK and Wood Green The Animals Charity have all teamed up again to spread the message.
It comes as forecasters predict another heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach the mid 20s this week.
