Summer reminder for dog owners

[Catherine]

I was just thinking that it is that time of year again. We all know that you can't leave a dog in a car, but every year some dogs die from the heat in a locked car.
Could we try and make this the year that no accidents happen. A few simple precautions are all we need to keep our pets safe.

Even with pet reptiles I have to watch the temperatures. I switch my heat lamps to smaller sizes when the temperature gets too hot. I even turn the lights off if it is a dangerously hot day.

Our pets depend on us to protect them. A little common sense could make a life and death difference to a pet. Please keep them safe.
I hate reading about animals that have died from heat stress.
