Don't Cook Your Dog, Say The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club has produced a three minute video called 'Don't Cook Your Dog' to demonstrate how easily dogs can suffer from brain damage, organ failure and death, if left in a hot car. Dogs are extremely sensitive to the heat and should never be left in a car alone, even on a fairly warm or cloudy day. Surprisingly, leaving a car window open or supplying water makes little difference and the dog will suffer, as a car can quickly heat up to around 50°C. Each year the Kennel Club receives reports of dogs being left in cars, and many incidents where dogs die from heatstroke as a result. The Kennel Club is calling for urgent action to prevent irresponsible dog ownership this summer.
