By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 10 billion, requiring an increase in global food production by 70%, with greenhouse gases projected to increase by 80%. It is important to acknowledge the environmental harm the production of animal products causes. This blog, written by Vivian Sandler, explores that topic in more detail.

It’s so important to think ahead to ensure your dog is as safe as possible on a walk. With more people than ever owning dogs in the UK, dog parks can sometimes become overcrowded. Plus, we are seeing hotter summers and more extreme winters, so there are many factors to consider to ensure Fido’s tail keeps wagging.

At IAPWA, we are passionate about animal welfare and want to ensure all dogs and cats in the UK are kept safe. We have listed some top tips to keep your pet cool during the heatwave. Understanding what to do to keep your pets cool, reduces any serious risks to your companions and allows you to be more at ease.
