    Soaring temperatures prompts ‘Dogs Die in Hot Cars’ warning

    With temperatures this week hitting the mid-twenties, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has teamed up with a coalition of rescue and rehoming charities, police, and welfare organisations to launch this year’s Dogs Die in Hot Cars campaign to highlight the dangers that warm weather can pose to dogs.

    BVA president John Fishwick said: “We all love our pets but many of us inadvertently put them at risk by leaving them inside a car thinking it’s not too hot outside or that they’d only be leaving the animals alone for a short while.

    “Unfortunately, even on a cloudy, overcast day, ‘not long’ can end up being too long for your pet. Leaving the car windows open and a bowl of water is not enough.”

    Mr Fishwick said he was proud the BVA is supporting this campaign and hopes that it not only encourages pet owners to think twice before leaving their dog in a car, but also raises awareness about what members of the public can do to help a dog in distress before it’s too late.

    The most obvious sign of heatstroke in dogs is excessive panting and drooling. Other signs include overly red or purple gums; a rapid pulse; lack of co-ordination; reluctance or inability to rise after collapsing, seizures, vomiting or diarrhoea and in extreme circumstances coma or death.
