According to PETA, a dog can die of heat stroke in just 15 minutes. The good news, is that are plenty of ways to protect your pet from the dangers of overheating and dehydration with a few simple steps:
-
Never leave your dog in a hot car! Even a 75-degree day can easily reach 100+ degrees in a closed car.
-
Make sure your pooch has access to shade or a cool breeze (such as an indoor fan)
-
Provide access to water!
