Pets Left in Cars
With summer heat hitting records, Laura Nativo explains the dangers of leaving a dog in a hot car. A dog cannot sweat, so they have no way to cool down in the heat. The inside temperature of a car can jump 33% in eight minutes. If you feel a dog is in grave danger in a car, dial 911 and save their life. There are also products you can purchase that will help keep your pet cool in these hot temperatures. If you have to make a quick trip in the store and leave your animal in the car, leave them with ice cold water and open windows and make sure the trip isn’t long.Get more tips from LauraNativo.com
