Looking our for our canine buddies this summer
When it's a hot summer's day our doggos really feel the heat!
Don't leave your pets locked in the car this summer, even if you’re nipping into a shop – a 30°C day turns into 49°C in a car in minutes, even with windows slightly down.
Check the heat of the pavement with your hand before heading out on a walk – if it's hot for you, it will be too hot for little paws.
While we sometimes get calls about dogs trapped in hot cars, only the SPCA New Zealand and police can take action under the Animal Welfare Act. Call either agency first if you see a dog locked in a hot car.
