How hot is too hot? Please be aware of how fast the inside of a car heats up, it can kill dogs, cats, whatever kind of pet you leave in your car and don't forget the most important mammal many of you humans have, your baby humans! They can't be left inside a car either!
Always remember to look in the back seat for all of your loved ones and have a great summer!
How hot is too hot for your dog? Here's a handy reference chart. Remember to use the "real feel" temps outside as a guide.
Generally anything above 80° in real feel temps starts to go into the danger zone.
Brachycephalic dogs, or those with short snouts like Pugs and Boston Terriers & Pekingese like Henry, are particularly at risk for heat stroke because they don’t cool air as efficiently when they breathe as their long nosed cousins. If you have a brachycephalic breed, or an elderly or overweight dog, add one point to your dog’s number right off the bat.
