Two weeks ago something absolutely terrible happened to my neighbor’s dog. The dog’s name was Emma and she died from heat exhaustion as her owner kept her waiting while he went inside the mall to run some errands.
Don’t let this happen to your pet. I know you have heard this advice before but it’s worth repeating a thousand times over: Never leave your dog stuffed in a parked vehicle with the windows rolled up, especially when it is hot.
Even if the car is parked in the shade with a slight crack open for air, the temperature inside a car on a warm summer afternoon can reach unbearable levels. Some dogs have went into heat exhaustion on days where the temperature was less than 80 degrees. But the inside of the car, left in the sun, can hit temperatures of up to 105 degrees or higher, and in less than half an hour.
