The heat can be brutal this time of year for people and for our pets. We all know that leaving children or pets in our car can be deadly in a short amount of time. We would normally think that the bright sunshine beating down on us and the windows rolled up makes it fatal. However, for one pet owner, the humidity and overcast skies proved to be just as deadly. According to a vet, “the high humidity in the area was especially dangerous. Even if it wasn’t especially hot outside, the humidity could get high enough to create conditions in a car where animals suffocate.”

Please check out the article on heat stroke and how to prevent it on Dr.Jon’s website. The article is by Dr. Debra Primovic. Go to: petplace.com/dogs/heat-stroke/page1.aspx.
Please, please do not allow your pets or children to stay in the car unattended while you are away. Weather conditions beyond the sunshine can be deadly to our loved ones. Namaste.
