Dogs die in hot cars.
Dogs die in hot cars. Don't leave your dog alone in a car.
If it's very warm outside and you're going out in the car, think very carefully about what you are going to do with your dog. You should never leave a dog alone in a car.
It can get unbearably hot in a car on a sunny day, even when it's not that warm. In fact, when it's 22°C/72°F outside, the Temperature inside a car can soar to 47°C/117°F within 60 minutes.
Unlike humans, dogs pant to help keep themselves cool. In a hot stuffy car, dogs can't cool down - leaving a window open or a sunshield on your windscreen won't keep your car cool enough. Dogs die in hot cars.
Under the Animal Welfare Act you now have a legal duty to care for your animal and if you put your animal at risk, you could face prosecution. You would also have to live with the fact that your thoughtless action resulted in terrible suffering for your pet.
If you see a dog in a car on a warm day please call the Police on 999.

JOIN THE 4000 CLUB AND HELP OUR ANIMALS
The building of the much needed cat and dog isolation blocks is nearly complete seeing the first dogs arriving at the centre soon. The next phase of building will be a block of dog kennels when funding becomes available, followed by a further cattery and purpose built small animal accommodation.
As you can imagine the cost of building and running such a centre is enormous and as we receive no financial help either from the Government or the central RSPCA the branch is Totally responsible for finding all its own funding.
To this end we have started the "4000 Club" in which we are asking people to donate £2 per month by Standing Order (more can be given if you wish). If you feel that you can help us in this way it really would be appreciated and would enable us to continue our dream of a brighter future for animals. Please Click Here to view our leaflet and form which you can print out and send to us.
If you would like to help us in any other way perhaps you could tick the appropriate boxes on the back of the form.
To support the Isle of Thanet Branch and Woodchurch Animal Centre by contributing a standing order, please complete the form on the reverse side of this leaflet |
