The summer heat is approaching and it’s time to remind pet owners not to leave their animals in the car. Here’s why - if you want to run into the store for a quick 15 minutes to shop and leave your dog in a 78 degree car - in a matter of minutes it becomes an oven. Veterinarian Gregg Takashima of the American Animal Hospital Association says that your car transforms into an oven, reaching 160 degrees when parked in the sun. And too much physical activity in the heat can be harmful too. What happens if your dog gets overheated? Watch for signs of excessive panting or vomiting. Get the dog out of the sun and immediately begin to cool the pads of the paws with water and head to the nearest vet!
