PDSA warn dog owners not to keep dogs in locked cars in the heat of high summer

Dog alone is locked in car on heat hot day, howls and whines, asks for water on sunny summer day

“If you see a dog that has been left on its own in a car on a hot day, assess the situation first before acting. If the dog is panting heavily, appears lethargic or drowsy, is drooling excessively or is vomiting or unresponsive, they could be showing signs of heatstroke, in which case you should seek help immediately.

“Many people’s first response in this situation may be to contact an animal welfare organisation, but these inspectors do not have powers of entry and will still require police assistance. Because of this, it’s best to call 999. Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation, and sadly, police regularly deal with these incidents.“If the dog isn’t displaying any obvious signs of heatstroke, try to establish how long they may have been in the car.
