IS IT TOO HOT FOR YOUR DOG IN THE CAR


ITS TOO HOT FOR YOUR DOG IN THE CAR

 FIVE  reasons why leaving a dog in a hot car can be deadly:
1. Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat-related illness because they can only cool off by panting and through the pads in their feet.
2. Even on seemingly mild days, an enclosed car can be deadly. In a Stanford University study, when it was 72 degrees outside, a car’s internal temperature climbed to 116 degrees within one hour.
3. Enclosed cars heat up quickly. In a study by San Francisco State University, when it was 80 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car rose to 99 degrees in 10 minutes and 109 degrees in 20 minutes.
4. A dog’s normal body temperature is between 101 to 102.5 degrees; a dog can only withstand a high body temperature for a short time before suffering nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, brain damage or even death.
5. Studies show that cracking the windows has little effect on a car’s internal temperature.

Fox Poo Shampoo

If your dogs are as bad as mine and like to roll in Fox Poo on our woodland walks then I can recommend this Shampoo from Animology - remember to water it down - best to squeeze some into a old washing up liquid bottle and fill with water and shake.
