When it’s warm, a dog left in a car can suffer harm very quickly- even with a window left open or parked in the shade. ☀️🐶

Plan your journeys and errands around the welfare of your dog. It may be safer to leave them at home.

❗ If you see a dog in distress in a car, call us on 999.

The RSPCA also has some great advice on what to do in this situation. ⬇️
