How Our AC Hire Protects Animal Welfare During Summer

As UK summers become increasingly warmer, veterinary clinics face the challenge of maintaining optimal indoor temperatures. High heat levels can compromise animal welfare, affecting both patients and staff. Ensuring a comfortable environment is vital for recovery, treatment efficacy, and overall well-being.  

Here at Andrews Air Conditioning, our specialised air conditioning hire solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of veterinary practices. And in this blog, we’ll show you exactly how. But first, let’s explore the risks of heat stress in animals. 

How Does Heat Stress Affect Animals? 

Veterinary clinics must be especially vigilant during warmer months, as many animals are highly vulnerable to heat-related stress. Without the right cooling, high temperatures can seriously impact their health and recovery. 

Here’s how excessive heat can affect animals: 

• Increased risk of heatstroke  
• Worsening of existing medical conditions 
• Delayed recovery 
• Dehydration and fatigue  
• Elevated anxiety and discomfort
