How lovely is this weather; although it may not be hot for us humans please spare a thought for our furry four-legged friends. Despite it not being too hot we here at Shabby Paws advise that you do not leave your dog in a car at all, new warnings suggest that even in the morning sunlight when its cooler dogs can still suffer from heat stroke. Here’s some facts for you.

 

§  In warm sunny weather cars become ovens, with temperatures soaring to 120°F/49°C or even higher. Because of this, the RSPCA advises that animals are never left inside cars.

§  If an animal left in a car is panting for breath it may be starting to suffer from heatstroke, which can kill an animal very quickly.

§  Leaving windows open or putting a bowl of water in the car does not help.

§  Owners who put an animal at risk by leaving it inside a locked car could face prosecution.

§  Please help us get this message across this summer. It will save more dogs from suffering and avoid the need for us to prosecute owners.

Dogs can die from heatstroke in a minimum of 20 minutes. If you see a dog left inside a parked car on a warm day, please contact the Police on 999 for assistance. In the event of the police being unable to attend, please contact our 24-hour Cruelty and Advice telephone line 0300 1234 999.
