Pets Love a Cool Car

Pets Love a Cool Car if your dog is like most. They tend to get excited about the idea of getting to go somewhere with you. With one shake of the keys and “come on” your dog heads for the door and excited to go bye-bye. But during warmer months it is essential to consider the temperature before taking your pet along in the car.

Dogs need a cool car to be in if they are going to be taken out during the warmer months. Left in an unattended car even for minutes on a hot day, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise within minutes. If the temperature is 29 degrees Celsius, it can quickly climb to over 48 degrees Celsius in a car that even has the windows wound down a bit. Pets left in hot vehicles can also lead them to have heat stroke and brain damage.

Does that mean you can’t take your dog for a ride when it’s hot outside? Not at all! But it does mean that you should have air conditioning that is working well. And not have any plans of leaving the dog unattended in the car. Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking your pet with you in the car when it’s a hot day:

• Always take along some water for your pet to drink. Being outdoors they need to drink more when it’s warmer out.
• Be sure to have a leash with you in the car as well. Even if you don’t have plans of getting out of the car to use it. That way if something happens and you need to get out you will have what you need to help keep your dog nearby and safe.
• If you are travelling and need to give your dog breaks. Look for places that offer shade, such as parks and rest areas.
