For every kind
The more we learn about animals, the more we uncover the depth and richness of their emotions. Whether they’re pets, wildlife, on farms or in labs, they deserve to have a healthy, happy and fulfilled life of their own. We all have a part to play in building a better, kinder world for every animal.
Discover the hidden emotional lives of animals this summer
When the weather heats up, animals feel it too – they get thirsty, seek shade, and need a helping hand to stay safe. That’s where you come in. Small, everyday actions help create a better world for animals. By treating every animal with kindness and respect, we can create a better world for all.
Help me stay happy and cool
Dogs are full of joy and thrive on companionship, often showing us exactly how they feel. From getting the zoomies or wagging their tail when they are happy, to bowing at us because they want to play. We see their loyalty as they stick by our side through thick and thin.
But in the summer, because they can’t sweat like we do, they can easily overheat. And their devotion means they might not let on when they’re struggling. Help your best friend stay cool, happy and healthy following this advice.
Protect our pale ears and noses
Many cats enjoy stretching out in a sunny spot and soaking up the warmth. It helps them feel relaxed, comfortable and even supports their mood. But did you know white cats and those with pale ears or noses are more at risk of sunburn? Find out how to help them stay safe in the sunshine.
I know I'm fabulous, but I also need my distance
Seals love to come ashore to rest and sun themselves. But they can also experience real distress, if people get too close. This fear might stop them from resting, force them back into the sea too soon, or even separate a pup from their mum. The kindest thing you can do is to quietly enjoy the view from at least 100 metres away. That way, everyone’s happy. Read more advice here.
We are lovers, not fighters
Gulls are highly social birds, they form strong pair bonds, often mating for life and returning to the same partner year after year. Gull families even have their own unique call to identify each other. But not everyone sees their charm. Sadly, many gulls are hurt or driven from their homes each year. Check out how you can show them kindness here.
We need relaxation and rolling in dust
For hens, dust bathing isn’t just about staying clean – it’s a joyful, calming ritual. They often bathe together, building bonds and easing stress as they fluff and shake the dust through their feathers. It’s a natural behaviour that every hen should have the freedom to enjoy. That’s why animal welfare matters – so farmed animals can live fuller, happier lives.
