☀️ If it’s too hot for people, it’s too hot for our pets.☀️

Never leave a pet unattended in a vehicle, even with the windows cracked. In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a parked car can increase by up to 20°C, putting your pet in serious danger.

Instead, leave pets at home in a cool space and check on them regularly to make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

For more information on keeping pets safe in the heat, tap the link in our bio.
