It's a NO: Leaving Dogs In Cars

Even just for a minute, leaving a dog in a car can be extremely dangerous. 

A car's temperature rises approximately 40 degrees an hour with most of the temperature increase in the first 30 minutes. On hot days, cars can reach 120 degrees in just minutes! 

Shade, air conditioning or cracking the windows aren't appropriate solutions, either - dogs can still suffer from injury, heatstroke or noxious fume build-up.

Here are a few great tips from Petfinder for alternatives to leaving a dog in a vehicle. Be safe, not sorry! Your furbaby will thank you!
