“If the temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) outside on a hot summer days, the inside of the car can reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius)within half an hour. Your puppy can suffer brain damage or death if her body temperature reaches 107 degrees Fahrenheit, which is only 5 to 7 degrees above normal body temperature. (A dog’s normal temperature ranges between 100 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 – 39.1 degrees Celsius).”
· Always carry water with you
· If it’s 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) or warmer, no walking between 11am and 5pm
· In temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius), walks should be of a short duration and in shade
· If the pavement is too hot for your bare feet, then it is too hot for your puppy’s paws”
