NEVER LEAVE A PET IN A PARKED CAR!
If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your pet!
HUMANE SOCIETY OF MISSOURI HOT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Summertime heat can be brutal, especially for pets. Keep them safe and cool.
Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when the temperature is more than 70 degrees.
When it is 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 120 degrees in minutes, even with the windows cracked open. Leaving a pet in a hot, unattended car is inhumane, illegal and can cause severe injury or even death within minutes.
Act immediately if you see a distressed animal in an unattended car.
A pet showing signs of distress such as heavy panting, unresponsive behavior, seizure or collapse needs IMMEDIATE attention.
Call the local police and the
ANIMAL ABUSE HOTLINE
314-647-4400
Outdoor pets need access to fresh, clean water and shade at ALL times of the day.
If you run or jog with your dog, take frequent water breaks for yourself and your dog.
Do not bicycle or rollerblade with a pet.
When the weather is dangerously hot, keep pets inside.
