…While at Fred Meyer I reported 2 people for leaving their dogs in the car…89 in Monroe at 2pm….I was there a total of 20 minutes so the inside of the vehicles had to be 120 or better! One lady told me to mind my own biz…? really I called the cops on you since you are too stupid to know how to conduct your biz…the others were so worried…they stood and argued with me for 5 more min before opening the car…People at the risk of losing friends…DON’T LEAVE YOUR PETS IN THE CAR…BETTER YET LEAVE THEM AT HOME IN THE SUMMER…it takes less then 10 to turn your vehicle into a brain scrambling toaster oven..
And I am recruiting people nationwide to start reporting all that I catch!

Use kid’s window shades, the kind that change color if getting too hot. Also try Cool Pads, they are the greatest invention for travelling with dogs. They will keep dogs cool for 4-6 hours in high temperatures.

I’ll bet is says that so that people don’t leave their dogs outside unattended wearing it.

There are lots of cool coats on the market. You can make your own, too, using shammy material and some tape ties or velcro. I have also seen them made with simple hand towels.

Thanks!I’ll test it out.

I saw a collar the other day that was hollow and came with a long flexible ice pack to slide in it. I thought “cool this goes on my want-but-don’t-need list,” but then I turned it over and read the directions, the top one being “for indoor use only.” WHAT???
