With the warm weather we had this past week, we have received calls regarding dogs being left in hot cars.
As the summer weather approaches, we want to remind everyone that temperatures in cars rise rapidly in your vehicle even with the windows rolled down. A "quick" trip to the store with your dog can be fatal.
The temperature of the inside of your vehicle on a 90-degree day in just 10 minutes can rise to 109 degrees.
A 5 to 10-minute trip into a store, bank, or coffee shop can lead to unexpected delays, leaving your pet in your vehicle longer than intended.
For your pets' safety, please keep them at home and do not leave them unattended in your vehicle, as prevention is always the best.
