Pets can overheat in car, even in cooler weather
Update: 2024-10-24
Description
We may be done with hot weather, but it’s likely not done with us — or our pets. So, now’s not the time to let your guard down about pets in cars.
Even at a comfortable 70 degrees outside, it only takes 20 minutes for the inside of a car to reach 100 degrees — and pets with shortened flat muzzles or those that have recently exercised can get dangerously warm even quicker. And don’t assume that cracking the window helps much. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the interior of a car with a window cracked heats up at nearly the same rate as a closed car.
So, if you need to stop for a while with your pet in the car, take someone along who can sit there too, using the air conditioning as needed.
