are not a good mix.
Over the weekend I read an article in the local news about a gentleman who left his small dog in his car when he went to the grocery store. The dog ended up with heat exhaustion and was taken to the dog kennel for medical treatment. Animals and hot cars should never be a combination to try. According to mydogiscool.com, on an 85 degree day, the interior of a car can reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes. Animals do not have the same heat releasing capabilities that humans do and can reach a crisis quickly.
What can YOU do? Don't leave your animal in a car. If a friend leaves his/her animals in a car, warn them of the dangers of it. If you see an animal in a car, leave a flier on their car. If you see an animal in distress in a locked car, call the police.
You CAN make a difference!
