Heat Stroke in Dogs
Remember not to leave animals in unattended cars during the summer
As the temperatures rise, remember to not leave your pet in a car. Heat stroke can occur even on arelatively cool day. A recent study fromStanford University found that the temperature in a vehicle may increase by 40 degrees farenheit within 1 hour! That means if it’s 70 degrees outside, it's 110 degrees inside the car! Imagine that in a fur coat!
