Guernsey Police & GSPCA advice for dog and animal owners with hot weather

Submitted by Steve on 08:52, 2nd Jun, 2017 | 0

As the weather become increasingly warmer, people in Guernsey are being reminded not to leave their dogs alone in a car on a warm day.

Many people may think that it’s ok to leave a dog in a car on a warm day if the windows are left open or they’re parked in the shade, but the truth is, it’s still a very dangerous situation for the dog.  Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager said:

“It can get unbearably hot in a car on a sunny day, even when it’s not that warm.  When it’s 22 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 47 degrees within an hour.”
