Summer is a dangerous time for dogs living in hot climates. Many dog owners think their dog will be fine if left in the car for a short amount of time as long a the windows are cracked. Please be aware that leaving a dog in a hot car is very dangerous and could result in health problems for your dog and legal problems for you.
Heatstroke is an increase in body temperature above normal levels. It can cause irreversible health issues including brain damage and organ failure.
Signs of heatstroke:
Anxiety
Panting
Drooling
Dogs with thicker coats and shorter faces are at a higher risk of heat stroke than other breeds.
If you leave your dog in the car on a hot day, animal control has the authority to issue a ticket for neglect.
So please be careful and try to bring your dog with you when you shop as often as possible.
