Pets in Parked Cars
- Never leave pets unattended inside a parked car, even if the window is cracked open.
- Temperatures rise quickly, causing irreparable organ damage to your pet and even death.
- It only takes minutes for your pet to suffer from heatstroke. On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 160 degrees. Heatstroke signs are heavy panting, profuse salvation, a rapid pulse, lack of coordination, and red gums and tongue.
- If you see a dog alone in a vehicle, immediately call 911. Local law officials have the ability to enter vehicles and rescue the pet.
- Do not leave until help has arrived.
