Crufts Advice - Summer Heat and the Effects on your dog
With today's welcome sunshine, and summer fast approaching, the Kennel Club is warning people that they risk cooking their dogs alive if they leave them unattended in a 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.
To promote the seriousness of the issue the Kennel Club has produced a three minute video called 'Don't Cook your Dog', which is supported by Dogs Today magazine's Don't Cook Your Dog campaign. The video demonstrates how easily dogs can suffer from brain damage, organ failure and death, if left in a hot car.
