Never leave pets alone inside a parked car On an 85 degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die. 3 Summer travel with your pets Before you begin your trip make sure to pack: Copies of veterinary health and shot records Name, phone number and office address of home veterinarian List of any medications First aid kit Extra leash and collar Address and phone number of veterinary clinics in areas that you will visit Antifreeze As the summer days get warmer, cars that overheat may leak antifreeze. Pets are drawn to the sweetness of this toxic chemical. Even when ingested in very small amounts, antifreeze is poisonous to animals, and a veterinarian should be contacted immediately. Some public fountains may contain antifreeze, do not let your pet drink from them. © 2019 Covetrus. All Rights Reserved. No copying without permission. Not responsible for typographical errors. Lit.
