Summer heat and your pets
Summertime is upon us and that means extremely hot weather for most of the world. Do you know how heat affects your pet? From the extremely hot concrete/pavement to how your pet releases heat and cools itself, there are many dangers out there. Dogs pant to release heat and cool themselves. A tight muzzle could keep your dog from cooling itself and cause a heat stroke. The temperature in vehicles, even with cracked windows, can reach over 120 degrees within 10 minutes. Running inside a store for even just 1 thing and leaving your pet in your car could kill it in a matter of minutes.
Dogs can drink too much water if they are over heated which can cause water poisoning and kill them very quickly. It's very important to know how the heat affects your pet and the best ways to keep them cool and safe. In the state of Florida it is LEGAL to break a car window to rescue an animal locked inside when the temperature is above a certain degree. If you see an animal locked in a car, even with the windows cracked, don't just assume that their owners will be right back, or that it is none of your business. Speak up, step up, do something. You could be saving an innocent life instead of just ignoring it. The same thing goes if you suspect an animal is being neglected or abused. Call the authorities and report it. If you do nothing the animal will continue to suffer, don't assume that the owner knows better or worry about what your neighbors may think of you if you question a situation. Know that you were a voice for the ones that have none.
