How Long Will You Be Gone |
|
Even 10 minutes could be too long for a pet to be left in the car on a hot day. By then, the temperature inside the car could reach 160 degrees. That's hot enough to cause a dog to suffer heat stroke. Within moments, your dog could sustain permanent brain damage. If emergency care is not given, your pet could die. The short stop you plan to make at the store could stretch to 15 minutes or more before you know it. Your mistake could cost your dog his life. Leaving the windows cracked won't cool the car enough to protect your pet. Of course your dog would like to go with you everywhere, but when the weather turns warm, better park your pet at home.
