Dogs Die In Hot Cars

Many people think it's okay to leave their dog in the car if they're parked in the shade or the windows are open. But a car can become as hot as an oven, even when the weather doesn't feel that warm. 

What to do if you see a dog in a car on a warm day:

❗ First, assess the dog's condition. If they're showing any signs of heatstroke dial 999 at once. Distress may look like: displaying signs of heatstroke such as heavy panting, drooling excessively or collapse.

❌ While your instinct might be to smash a window and break into the car, without proper justification, this could be classed as committing criminal damage.

📱 Take pictures and/or videos of the dog in distress and make a note of the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.

Please don't leave your dogs inside your car. 

Thank You.
