Leaving your dog in a parked car is never a good idea, however, during the summer it can be a life-threatening mistake! According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the temperature inside your car can rise almost 20 degrees in only 10 minutes. On a beautiful 75 degree day, the inside of your car can easily reach 95 degrees in just 10 minutes. Nobody wants to sit in a hot car, especially your dog! If you plan to visit places that are not pet friendly while out and about, keep your dog at home where they can relax and enjoy the cool temperatures.
