Do Not Leave Your Pets in the Car during Hot Weather
PLEASE, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS IN YOUR VEHICLE even with the windows cracked--even for 15 minutes! The air inside the vehicle can heat up to 130 degrees and above VERY QUICKLY.
It is a death sentence for dogs,
cats, and children to leave them in a vehicle in the summer months - even if the sky is cloudy. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we typically have a heavy cloud cover in the morning - but it can burn off quite suddenly.
And, don't think leaving the dogs (or anyone else) in the vehicle with the air conditioner running is a solution. Motors stall out or overheat and the air conditioning quits working.
Many dogs will die a tragic death from being left in the car over the next few
months.. DO NOT LET YOUR DOG BE ONE OF THEM !!!
AT HOME - Be sure to leave your dog with plenty of fresh, clean water. If there is a chance the dog can tip over the water container while you
are gone, find a way to fasten it securely. If your dog is left outside, make sure they have a shaded area away from the direct sun.
Just a few moments of evaluating your dog's environment may save its life. Your job is to protect your dog from any danger - so plan ahead
for our hot summer days. Tell this message to anyone you know who loves their dogs. We cannot remind each other about this enough.
Have a great and safe summer
