Public warned 'don't leave dogs in hot cars' following two incidents this weekend
POLICE have warned dog owners that a car is not a safe place to lead a dog on a warm day- following two separate incidents in the area. Allerdale officers have today, May 18 been called to two separate incidents of dogs in hot cars. In a statement on social media, Allerdale police said: "Leaving a dog in a car on a warm day is extremely dangerous and can be fatal. The temperature inside a car can rise rapidly, even with windows cracked open, creating an oven-like environment that can cause heatstroke and death within minutes. "Dogs struggle to cool down in hot conditions because they primarily rely on panting, which isn't effective in a car." Why Leaving a Dog in a Car is Dangerous: Heatstroke: Dogs can develop heatstroke quickly in a hot car, leading to organ damage, seizures, and even death. Dehydration: Dogs cannot sweat like humans, so panting is their primary method of cooling. In a car, panting is ineffective, leading to rapid dehydration. Temperature Increase: A car's temperature can soar to dangerously high levels even when it doesn't feel that warm outside. Allerdale police added: "A parked car is not a safe place for a dog on a warm day, if you can not take your dog with you, LEAVE IT AT HOME."
