Cats
Now the warmer weather has arrived your cat may be looking a little hot and bothered.
A recent survey from the British Veterinary Association (BVA) showed that nearly half of vets questioned treated animals for conditions related to hot weather, such as heat stroke, last summer. It’s therefore vitally important that you take extra care to keep your cat healthy and happy in the sunshine.
