BRINGING THE HEAT: PETS & HOT CARS

BARK IT LIKE IT’S HOT

Summer is almost here and temperatures are soon to be on the rise! Although both hounds and humans love warm weather and sunshine, it is extremely important to stay protected from those powerful summer rays, especially when it comes to riding in cars with dogs. If you keep a few things in mind and take action early, you and your dog can have a great summer!

Cars can be deathtraps for dogs, even with the windows open. A car can go from comfortable to oven-like in minutes, so never leave your dog alone in a car. And don’t think that a cloudy day or parking in the shade reduces the risks. The sun moves during the day and clouds can actually magnify the heat. Leaving your dog in a car should generally be a last resort option – especially in the summer.
