Hot Cars Kill Dogs and Kids Window Cling

Parked cars are death traps for dogs: On a 70-degree day, the temperature inside one can soar to 99 degrees in 20 minutes, and on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 109 degrees in just 10 minutes.

Every year, dogs suffer and die when their guardians make the mistake of leaving them in a parked car—even for “just a minute”—while they run an errand. Even on a day that doesn’t seem “that hot,” a vehicle can quickly reach a temperature that puts animals at risk of serious illness and even death. And slightly opening the windows makes no difference. Use this window cling to remind other drivers that in hot weather, dogs should stay at home where they’re safe.
