The animal experts at the The clever way you can ensure your paddling pool is kept warm "Dogs can develop heat stroke quickly and can be fatal," they explained. "It is vital that owners ensure their dog has access to water and cool shaded areas to rest at all times. Advertisement "It's also important you monitor your dog throughout the day to check changes in their behaviour." They recommended making use of paddling pools to ensure your pooch doesn't overheat. "Paddling pools aren't just for children. On a hot day your dog will appreciate a pool to dip his or her paws into," the pros said. More summer risks to dogs EXPERTS are warning pet owners to be vigilant when it comes to taking their dogs out this summer - especially when it comes to taking them to the beach. Dr Rebecca MacMillan says it is important that dog parents are well prepped to ensure a safe trip away with their dog. From consumption of salt water, to open holes, the Gloucestershire-based vet says there are hidden hazards to look out for. Angela Laws, who is head of community at British pet-sitting platform TrustHousesitters, also urges pet owners to 'prioritise safety' and to 'be aware of potential hazards.' Preventing injuries Large holes can be hidden amongst the sand, which can cause injury if your dog trips or falls into it. Dr Rebecca is warning pet owners, as if you are playing fetch with them, your dog might not be 'expecting a hole' as they are running, which can cause them to fall and injure themselves. Talking to the Food for thought Although you would never dream of drinking the water from the sea, your pets may view it as a large bowl of water for them. However, seawater consumption is extremely dangerous for your dogs according to Dr Rebecca. Drinking saltwater can disrupt the 'balance of electrolyte in the body and cause dehydration,' according to Rebecca. This is also the case for sand as too much sand can cause a painful obstruction, 'which may require surgery.' Check the temperature Just like humans, pets can get heat stroke too. It is most likely to occur when the body's temperature rises above 36C and hits 40C. Dr Rebbeca suggests caution when the weather outside hits 25C, and especially if it's over 27C. She also warned pet owners to do their research on the type of breed of their dog, as some will be much more 'prone to heatstroke.' Dr Rebecca says these dogs include flat-faced dogs like pugs and bulldogs, and large breeds with thick coats. She urges dog parents to make sure their pet is well hydrated, try to keep them in the shade and remember to be aware of their paws burning on the ground. Digging dangers Dr Rebecca there could be anything from discarded She said: 'If your pooch is prone to digging, make sure you're nearby in case of any unexpected finds.' "This is an effective way of cooling them down rapidly as dogs absorb and release heat through their paws.

They also recommended ensuring your pup has cool, chilled water throughout the day. You can also make use of cooling mats, spray bottles, and cool towels to cool down your dogs.

Tesco's Irish and UK sales growth accelerates in first quarter
Tesco has reported a pick-up in underlying sales growth in its first quarter and won market share from rivals, saying improvements in value, product quality and service had chimed with consumers. The group, whose share of Britain's grocery market has grown this year to 28%, a level not seen since 2016, said today its UK like-for-like sales rose 5.1% in the 13 weeks to May 24, having been up 4.3% in the previous quarter. Its Irish sales rose by 5.5% to £772m and it said it continued to see growth in market share to reach 23.3% - which marked 40 consecutive four-week periods of share gains. Tesco said its Irish food sales rose by 5.8%, with volume growth supported by continued investment in its fresh proposition. Its Irish fresh food range received 10 Monde Selection awards, it added. The retailer said it saw growth across all channels in Ireland, led by online with sales up 19.8% on the back of the launch of same-day Click & Collect and home delivery last year Tesco said its group sales were £16.4 billion, up 4.6% on a like-for-like basis. "Our continued commitment to delivering great value, quality and service for our customers has contributed to like-for-like sales growth across all parts of the Group," CEO Ken Murphy said. But he cautioned that the market "remains intensely competitive". Tesco said it still expected to report adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3 billion in the year ending February 2026, down from the £3.13 billion achieved in 2024/25. The group said in April it expected profit to fall in its 2025/26 year as it set aside cash to deal with a step up in the "competitive intensity" of the UK grocery market. This marked a reference to a pledge of sustained price cuts from Asda, Britain's third biggest supermarket group, which has been losing market share. Most analysts think Tesco's strategy of matching the prices of discounter Aldi on hundreds of key items, together with heavy promotion of its Clubcard loyalty scheme, which provides lower prices for members, is working well. Tesco is also becoming increasingly digital, stepping up personalised engagement with customers and developing growth avenues such as its online Marketplace platform and retail media. Shares in Tesco are up 27% over the last year.
