"Heat-related emergencies can sneak up on pet owners," Dr. Kelly Cairns, vice president of medical excellence and education at Thrive Pet Healthcare, told Newsweek. "By the time the warning signs become obvious, it's a life-threatening situation."
"Never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle. Even with the windows down, a car can quickly turn into an oven," Cairns said.
