The GSPCA during hot weather often receive reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars and with warm weather upon us we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets
The GSPCA team have already been out to a number of vehicles with reports of dogs locked inside with little or no ventilation.
With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs in cars are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

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.”
