Animal Safety

However, animal protection charities are reminding us to make sure that pets have plenty of fresh water and air during the summer months. Tina volunteers for a Costa Del Sol animal shelter, she says “we all enjoy the great weather but it can be a nightmare for animals if they aren’t properly looked after. Remember to leave lots of fresh water for cats and dogs, make sure they have access to shade, and never leave animals in cars”.
