To Hot for Spot
🚨The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory which will starts at 11 AM today and remains in effect until 8 PM this evening. 🚨
The heatwave means that it is "Too Hot For Spot." Be sure your pets stay cool and hydrated.
If you take your pet out for a ride in this heat and have to leave them unattended just remember, although it may feel like only a couple of minutes in the car, it can quickly become “Too Hot for Spot!”
After only 10 minutes the temperature inside a car can exceed 120 degrees – even with the windows rolled down three inches!
Here is more information from the Animal Rescue League of Boston:
Did you know leaving an animal in a hot car is the most common cause of heatstroke in pets?
When temperatures begin to rise, so do concerns about animal safety. Pets don’t sweat the way humans do, making them unable to cool their bodies efficiently in the heat. Keep your pet safe and healthy by following important basic guidelines listed on our website at https://www.arlboston.org/protection/too-hot-for-spot/
Spot an animal in imminent danger or distress? Contact your local Animal Control Office or Police Department.
