Happy Wednesday Coffee Drinkers!
Today's post doesn't have anything to do with coffee. Instead, I would like to write about something I have seen a lot of so far this Summer, and the season just begun. I know there are a lot of pet lovers out there who enjoy taking their fur babies for a ride in the car with them, but when doing so, please be careful of the heat and be sure your pets have plenty of air. I have seen dogs locked in cars with no or minimal air, as the windows are completely up.
Just 15 minutes in a hot vehicle with no air can cause the animal to have a heart stroke or even die. Dogs can only cool themselves down by panting or sweating through their paws, so if they are locked in a vehicle with no way for air, the outcome is deadly. Even with temperatures in the lower 70's, if the animal is in a vehicle with the windows up, it can quickly reach over 100 degrees. No one wants animals to suffer, it's very cruel to make an animal sustain such heat when it's not necessary.
Even if the owner of the pet leaves the windows down just a bit, there is not much of a difference in the heat levels. So, if you see an animal locked in a hot car with no way out, there are things you can do to help that animal to safety.
Write down the license plate number, along with the make and model of the vehicle. If possible, try to find the owners of the vehicle and inform them of the situation. If none of there options are available, you can call the non-emergency local police department number and ask for assistance.
Please treat your animals fairly and don't put them in unnecessary potential dangerous situations...
Until Next Time...♥
