Dogs Can Die In Hot Cars


The temperature inside a parked car on a hot summer day can quickly go sky high; it’s like an oven inside! Even when a car is parked under the shade or you leave a window open, it can still get very hot inside. Being inside a parked car has resulted in death of many pets left behind by their owners even for a few minutes. As the temperature inside the car soars, so does the dog’s body temperature, which can eventually lead to dehydration, hyperthermia and heatstroke which can be fatal. This can happen very quickly. Even when they pant, it doesn’t stop their body temperature from increasing to dangerous levels. It is never safe to leave a dog in a car on a warm day even if it is just for a few minutes. 

If your pet is showing signs of heat stress, call your vet clinic Aurora, CO immediately so you can be instructed by the staff on what to do. Set an appointment at this website Aspen Commons Animal Hospital.
