Deadly Heat: How Quickly Cars Become Lethal for Dogs

Dangerously Hot Cars: A simple experiment shows the deadly risk to dogs left in vehicles during warm weather. A recent video by SouthendDogTraining highlights the alarming speed at which car interiors heat up, even on moderately warm days. In the video, the author shows how the temperature inside his car climbed from 21.6°C to 39.3°C in just a few minutes. "We're now in heatstroke weather," he states, as the thermometer displays the rapidly rising temperature. This experiment underscores the dangers faced by dogs left in parked cars, especially flat-faced breeds and older dogs, who are more susceptible to heatstroke. Experts warn that even short periods of time can be fatal. The video serves as a stark reminder to never leave your pet unattended in a car during warm weather.
