With the heat on the rise for many areas, it is now time once again to educate the public on the horrors of what the heat can do to your pet.
Year after year there always seems to be people that have no regard for their animals. Would you like to sit in a car for a few minutes, much less a few hours, with the windows up or even cracked a little on a day that is sunny and 80 + degrees? I don’t suggest you try it but think about when you first get in the car how hot it is. I am asking you to remember that feeling before you decide to turn the a/c off and leave your pet in the car.
It is time to remind everone that your pet could die if left in the car. With that said I also wanted to share the temperature guide so you understand how hot it can definately become inside the car. Please click on http://www.mydogiscool.com./x_car_study.php

Dogs in hot cars face an immediate crisis that is entirely preventable,” Alexis Raymond, Communications Director of the national non-profit, told Zootoo Pet News. “By educating pet owners and others that leaving a dog in the car when the weather is even mildly warm, we hope to save many animals from suffering and dying.

This post is all about being aware of who you carry in the car with you. I know my dog, Baby, discovered she loves taking car rides now. So every time I pick up my car keys she is dancing around. I would love to take her everywhere I go but I also have to keep in mind that I may not be able to take her in the various companies that I have to visit. It is for their safety not our companionship that should be taken into account.

Another part of the safety issue is leaving their dog leash on them unattended. There is always a possiblity of it getting caught in the seat or over the headrest. This creates a whole new problem for your pet. Just please be aware of any and all dangers.

So I am asking you to please think before you accidently do something to harm the health and safety of your pet.
