Don't Leave your Dog in the Car

HOT CARS CAN KILL DOGS

With the warm weather we see far too many examples of poor judgement from some pet owners.

We have heard many stories this summer already of dogs being left in the car while their owners are running errands. This is never a good idea. Do not leave your dog (or cat or child) in the car in the summer for any length of time, not even a 'minute or two'. Many pets die each year as a result of being left in  parked cars during warm weather.

Temperatures inside a parked car, even with the  windows open and in the shade, can rapidly reach very

dangerous levels, even on a relatively mild summer day.

A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39º C (102º F). Because of a limited ability to sweat, even a short time in  a hot environment can be life threatening.



Hot Cars Kill Dogs
Leave them Home - where it is cool. 
Call Your Local Humane Society or Police Department if you see a dog locked in a car.

  2. With the support of many websites on the internet, you can easily get the affordable kennel for your pet dog. It is very crucial to discover a really good kennel for your dog before you make a plan for your vacation. The dog boarding kennel will be responsible for the safety of your dog. When you leave your dog at dog boarding kennel, your dog will be taught activities and good habits. Besides, the dog center will take note of medical facilities for instance vaccinations and inoculations for your dog.
