Dogs Die in Hot Cars
Herefordshire Council is working with The Dogs Trust and the British Parking Association (BPA) to back the ‘Dogs Die in Hot Cars’ campaign, which aims to highlight the dangers of leaving dogs in cars during hot weather and advises the public as to what action to take if they see a dog in distress.
The RSPCA reported 8,290 calls relating to animals and heat exhaustion in 2018 – 90 per cent of which were about dogs in hot cars – including 33 in Herefordshire.
Keeping an eye out for dogs in distress during hot weather and taking appropriate action could be the difference between life and death.
Many people believe it is okay to leave a dog if the windows are slightly open or they park in the shade, but this is still very dangerous. A car can quickly become extremely hot, even when it doesn’t feel that warm – if it’s 22℃ outside, the inside of a car can reach up to 47℃ within an hour.
If dogs are too hot and unable to reduce their body temperature by panting, they risk developing potentially fatal heatstroke. The signs of heatstroke include:
- Heavy panting
- Excessive drooling
- Appearing lethargic, drowsy or uncoordinated
- Collapse or vomiting
If you notice a dog exhibiting these symptoms, or if you are concerned about the welfare of a dog in a car for any other reason, please call 999 immediately.
Herefordshire Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers patrol and monitor to ensure dogs have not been left at risk. As well as intervening with the vehicle owners, they are also instructed to contact the police if they notice a dog in serious risk of harm.
