With the weather heating up a friendly reminder, please do not leave your four-legged friends in the car!

On a 21°C day, the inside temperature of your car can reach 32°C after 10 minutes and 40°C after 30 minutes.

Being left unattended in a car is a common cause of pet heatstroke. While most people understand that pets should never be left in a car for a long time, few appreciate just how hot the temperature inside a parked car can get – and how quickly.

While ‘how hot is too hot’ will vary for different pets, there are several signs of heatstroke to look out for:

Rapid breathing and pulse
Panting and drooling
Red tongue and mouth
Vomiting and diarrhoea
Lethargy or stumbling around

Heatstroke can cause cardiac failure, renal failure, brain damage and liver and muscular damage. Its effects can be fatal.

Since 2018, leaving an animal trapped inside a car is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act. If you see a pet trapped inside a vehicle that looks like it’s suffering from heatstroke or stress, call the police, roadside assistance or your local SPCA immediately.

Police 111
AA 0800 500 222 or *222 from mobile phones
SPCA 0800 77 22 69

Get the vehicle’s plate number and go to the nearest store or business to request an emergency announcement be made about a pet left in a hot car, then go back to the car and wait for police.

Don’t break into a car to rescue a pet – this could endanger you and the animal.

See the full article below from Southern Cross Pet:

Heatstroke can cause serious health issues for pets. Make sure you know the signs - and why you shouldn't leave your pet in the car.
