On these hot summer days, animal welfare State Secretary Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig indicates that “the car can become a trap. No purchase and no appointment justifies that as a pet owner you take this life-threatening risk.”
Many dog owners underestimate the risk of heat: at 30 degrees Celsius, the car becomes an oven, which in turn means acute danger to life for the four -legged friend. From “only” 20 degrees Celsius outside temperature, the interior of the vehicle can heat up strongly.
Shadow and underground car park: Attention, it gets hot here too
And if you believe that the dog is better protected from the heat, if the car is parked in the shade, you are huge: because this procedure can also have negative consequences for the four -legged friend. Because, the sun hikes and soon shines in the car with full force, in which the dog endures. In conclusion: Even in a parked car in the underground car park, overheating can occur.
Therefore: “Do not leave your dog alone in the parked car. Solve your animal your animal,” appeals animal welfare state secretary Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig.
