Although nice weather may tempt us to take our dogs in the car with us, we should pay attention to the fact that the inside of a car can reach 120° in a matter of minutes, even when parked in the shade. Dogs cannot perspire (their only option is panting and using the pads of their feat) and confinement in a hot car can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage and in some cases, death. Even an air-conditioned car with the motor off is not totally safe or healthy. Being “gone for a minute” does not ensure the safety of your dog.
If you cannot leave your dog to cool and get refreshed at home, make sure to take it out of the car occasionally. Moreover, if you see another dog alone in a car for quite some time, alert someone in the store where the car is parked.
