Everyone knows Florida gets awfully warm in the summer but did you know that leaving your pet in your vehicle even for a quick run in to 7-11 can severely compromise your pets health? Whether your car is parked in the shade with the windows cracked or in full sunlight with the windows down, the car is not a place for your pet in the Florida summer. Ever. Do them a favor....leave them home if you're planning on making a stop. That's a great way to show them how much you love them.
