dont be a douche @Regrann from @manitobamuttsdogrescue - Adoptable Sawyer LOVES car rides like many dogs, but he'd like to remind you with hot days like this, please don't leave your furry friends in a sealed car. Even parking in the shade with the windows cracked and a bowl of water doesn't solve the problem. Dogs can't sweat, instead, they depend on panting to take in cool air and regulate their temperature. If they only have hot air to breathe, their temperature increases, putting them at risk of heatstroke. If you have to take your pet with you, use the buddy system and bring a friend to sit in the car while you're gone, or see if you can bring your pet inside with you. If you can't do that, leave your furry friend at home. Better safe than sorry! Heatstroke signs to watch for: - heavy panting - difficulty breathing - excessive thirst - bright red tongue - thick saliva, drooling, vomiting and/or diarrhea - unsteadiness and staggering - lethargy *Always remember to talk to your vet when it comes to your dogs health.
