It's the Law
Do not leave your pet in the car. Heat stroke or death can result in a short period of time.
Did you notice that we are in the throes of summer? Dawn the Pet Nanny is here to remind all pet owners to never leave your dog in your car, truck or SUV. Your pet can sustain severe brain damage or die within a very short period of time while you are running your errands. You may think that your errand will only take a minute or two. Unforeseen reasons could pop up and before you know it, your pet has been in the car for 10 to 20 minutes.
Leaving the windows cracked is not good enough. In a short period of time, the interior of your vehicle can reach temperatures of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Your pet can suffer a heat stroke, permanent brain damage, or die.
More people, including rescue groups and police, are scanning parking lots looking for pets locked in cars. There is the strong possibility of a Humane Society Police Officer or a local police officer getting involved. Citations and the loss of your pet could result.

Leave your dog at home. They will be much happier and safe. When you arrive home you will be greeted by wagging tails and won't be breaking the law.
