Don't Leave Your Dog In The Car Alone
Many of us love to enjoy the sunny warm weather but we are urging pet owners to be mindful of their animals.
Don't leave your dog alone in a car.
If it’s very warm outside and you’re going out in the car, think very carefully about what you are going to do with your dog. You should never leave a dog alone in a car.
Thousands of Islanders will be flocking to the North Show today and many more to the events all over this weekend but please ensure that your dogs aren't left in your car or other pets put at risk.
Unlike humans, dogs pant to help keep themselves cool. In a hot stuffy car, dogs can’t cool down – leaving a window open or a sunshield on your windscreen won’t keep your car cool enough. Dogs die in hot cars.
Even with current legislation in Guernsey if it can be proven that your dog is suffering you can face prosecution. You would also have to live with the fact that your thoughtless action resulted in terrible suffering for your pet.
