Help us spread the word… Friends don’t make friends wait in hot cars! ❌ If you pledge to not leave your pet in a hot car, please comment your furry friend’s name below. ⬇️
And if you ever see a pet in a hot car, remember to ACT. A-C-T. ❗
A – Assess the situation. Signs that a pet may be in distress from overheating include exaggerated panting, rapid breathing, drooling, dark pink gums, lack of coordination, inability to get up, vomiting, convulsions or collapse. 😿
C – Collect information. Note relevant information about the vehicle (make, model, license plate, colour, exact location) and pet’s description (species, size, colour, breed if known). 🚗🐾
T – Time to call. ☎️ If you cannot find the owner and the animal is in distress, call your local police, RCMP, or the Nova Scotia SPCA at 1-888-703-7722 and stay at the vehicle until reinforcements arrive.
Please keep your pets safe and cool at home. 💙
*Note: While we appreciate your compassion and empathy, we ask that you refrain from any comments that include profanity or may be considered disrespectful in accordance with our social media policy.*
