CSO WEEKLY
With temperatures forecasted to rise into the 70’s this week, it’s a good time to refresh on the dangers of animals in hot vehicles.
Did you know on a 75 degree day, the inside of a vehicle can potentially reach 100 degrees within an hour. On a 90 degree day, the inside of a vehicle can exceed 120 degrees within 20 minutes. Cracking your window does not slow temperature rise quickly enough for the safety of the animal.
Cats and dogs pant to cool themselves because they cannot effectively cool themselves like us humans can. Heat stroke can happen quickly leading to organ failure and possibly death. Sign and symptoms of animal heat stroke include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, lethargy, and collapse.
Keeping your animal confined in an unattended motor vehicle is a violation of YMC 6.20.125 (RCW 16.52.340) and depending on the circumstances could possible lead to animal cruelty charges.
