Looking our for our canine buddies this summer

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

When it's a hot summer's day our doggos really feel the heat!

Don't leave your pets locked in the car this summer, even if you’re nipping into a shop – a 30°C day turns into 49°C in a car in minutes, even with windows slightly down.

Check the heat of the pavement with your hand before heading out on a walk – if it's hot for you, it will be too hot for little paws.

While we sometimes get calls about dogs trapped in hot cars, only the SPCA New Zealand and police can take action under the Animal Welfare Act. Call either agency first if you see a dog locked in a hot car.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
