Tips For Keeping Pets Safe During Hot Summer Weather

With the temperatures climbing this summer, pet owners need to take extra caution to make sure their pets are okay in the heat. Following some very simple tips will help ensure that you pet stays safe during the hot, summer days. Do not leave your pet locked inside a car. According to the Humane Society, on an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage.
