If you can't leave them in a car that's running with A/C, just leave them home - please!! We see this more than we'd like to! 🥵
“It’ll only be 10 minutes.”
Unfortunately, that’s all it takes. ☀️🚗
Many people underestimate how quickly temperatures rise inside a parked car, even on “mild” days and even with the windows cracked.
When it’s 75°F outside, the inside of a vehicle can reach over 100°F in just 20 minutes. At higher temperatures, conditions become deadly even faster.
Pets cannot cool themselves the same way humans can. Heatstroke can develop rapidly and become life-threatening before owners realize there’s a problem.
If your pet can’t come inside with you, the safest choice is to leave them at home.
Please help us spread awareness this summer:
🐾 No errands are worth the risk.
🐾 Cracked windows are not enough.
🐾 10–15 minutes absolutely matters.
