Humane Society of Missouri urges pet owners to take caution as temperatures rise

Summer temperatures can be deadly for pets, especially those left unattended in parked cars. Even on a 70 degree day, internal car temperatures can skyrocket to more than 100 degrees in just minutes, which can cause heat exhaustion and death for pets left inside these vehicles. While many of us welcome the warm weather, pet owners are advised to take special precautions to keep their furry companions safe.

It’s easy to remember the Humane Society of Missouri’s life-saving motto this summer:

70 Degrees & Over, Don’t Take Rover!

To report an animal in heat-related jeopardy, call the

Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Hotline at (314) 647-4400.

10 hot weather animal safety tips from the Humane Society of Missouri:

Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when the temperature is near or above 70 degrees. In just minutes, the temperature inside the car can reach more than 100 degrees, regardless of whether a window is cracked. Leaving a pet in a hot, unattended care is inhumane and can cause severe injury or death within minutes. Harming a pet in this way is illegal, punishable by fines and imprisonment.
