Keep your pet safe this summer by keeping them in a cool area and out of the car. Give them plenty of water and avoid taking them out on the hot pavement, as it can burn their feet. <br />
<br />
If your dogs shows any signs of over-heating take him or her immediately to the vet. Look for...<br />
<br />
-Sluggish activity<br />
-Disorientation<br />
-Red eyes<br />
-Hard panting<br />

The ad should not have said to leave your pets in the car with the windows cracked. Animal Protection Association urges pet owners to not leave your pets in a car on warm days, even with the windows open. Even on an 80 degree day, the temperature in the inside of a car can reach up and over 100 degrees. We apologize for any confusion this misprint has caused and if you have any questions, please contact us at (847) 740-3977 or email us at <a href="mailto:contactus@animalprotectionassociation.org">contactus@animalprotectionassociation.org</a>.
