Battersea residents enjoy heat wave

Dogs keeping cool with ice lollies and paddling pool

As Britain enjoys a summer heat wave, the canine residents at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home have a few fail-safe methods of keeping cool.

Staff at Battersea's three centres have treated the hot and bothered mutts to home-made ice lollies, made by mixing dog food with water and freezing it in plastic cups.

Dog residents have also been enjoying a summer splash in Battersea's outdoor paddling pool, another simple way Battersea recommends owners can keep their pets cool in the heat.

Over 800 volunteers help out at Battersea's three centres, getting involved with a range of roles, such as dog and cat socialising, gardening, admin and giving talks in the community.

Visit Battersea's website for more information on the charity's canine and feline residents.
