The RSPCA is warning pet owners once again of the dangers the hot weather poses for pets.Two dogs have died this month as temperatures continue to soar - including a golden retriever left in a garden without shade. With record-breaking highs expected across the country this week, concern for 'hot dogs' has reached boiling point. The incidents were among 700 calls received by the RSPCA since 1 July reporting dogs left in cars, and also on balconies, in gardens, sheds and other areas without cover or water. How can you help?Please urge your friends and family to keep dogs out of places that heat up quickly - this includes cars, open areas exposed to direct sunlight, as well as conservatories and sheds.
