FACTS ON
DOGS AND HEAT
Many pets die each year as a result of being
left in parked vehicles during warm weather.
Temperatures inside a parked vehicle, even
with the windows open and in the shade,
can rapidly reach very dangerous levels,
even on a relatively mild summer day.
A dog’s normal body temperature is
about 39º C (102º F). Because of a limited
ability to sweat, even a short time in a hot
environment can be life threatening.
A dog can withstand a body temperature
of 41º C (106º F) for only a short time
before suffering irreparable brain damage
or even death.
TAKE ACTION
If you find a pet that you think may be
suffering from heat exhaustion, and the
owner cannot be quickly located, please
call your local Ontario SPCA Branch,
Humane Society or the Police.
