Dogs in Hot Cars



It is getting to that time of year where even Britain is experiencing the phenomenon of having a big orange thing in the sky!  This means that Brits are going out and having a lovely time in the sun but unfortunately it also means that there is an increase in the number of dogs that die as a result of being left in a car.

 NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOG IN THE CAR ALONE, EVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES.

Help us spread the message this summer it's NOT cool to leave your pet in a hot car! | Calgary Humane Society - Blog
This is a good poster but call 999 as this is an American poster
The unfortunate thing about deaths due to hot cars is that people do not realise that they have done anything wrong until it is too late.   Some people think that as long as they have the windows of their car open, leave water and park in shade that your dog will be fine to be left for 10 minutes.  Even a few minutes is enough to kill a dog.  They are unable to sweat like humans because they can only pant through their paws and nose, so they pant to circulate air to cool them down.  Therefore left in a car they are VERY VERY VERY vulnerable to heatstroke.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO HELP SAVE A DOG'S LIFE TODAY.
