Don't leave your dog alone in a car.
If you’re going out in the car, think very carefully
about what you are going to do with your dog. You should never leave a dog
alone in a car.
It can get unbearably hot in a car on a sunny day, even
when it’s not that warm.
In fact, when it’s 22 °C / 72°F outside, the temperature inside a car
can soar to 47°C / 117°F within 60 minutes.
Unlike humans, dogs pant to help keep themselves cool. In
a hot stuffy car dogs can’t cool down – leaving a window open or a sunshield on
your windscreen won’t keep your car cool enough. Dogs die in hot cars.
Under the Animal Welfare Act you have a legal duty to
care for your animal and if you put your animal at risk, you could face
prosecution. You would also have to live with the fact that your actions
resulted in terrible suffering for your pet.
If you see a dog in a car on a warm day please call the
Police on 999.
