Dvd sales software

Posted by Clare Bristow

emergency-first-aid I read some startling statistics today about how quickly the dvd sales software inside of a parked car can heat up - severe heatstroke is dvd sales software only minutes away, and death not far behind for dogs left in parked cars during warm weather.

Most of us know that we shouldn't leave dogs in parked cars in the dvd sales software height of summer, but cooler Spring and Autumn temperatures can dvd sales software prove to be as deadly.

Here are dvd sales software some sobering facts, courtesy of the The Humane Society of the dvd sales software United States:

Your dog's normal temperature is approximately 101F (38C) - at a temperature of 105F (40C) your dog will be suffering moderate heatstroke and at 108F (42C) [tag]dog heatstroke[/tag] can be severe and potentially deadly;
When it's 85F (29C) outside, the dvd sales software inside of your car can reach 102F within 10 minutes; 20 minutes later and dvd sales software the temperature is likely to be 120F;
Even when it's only 72F (22C) outside, the car can heat up to 105F within 30 minutes;
Leaving the dvd sales software car windows open has a negligible effect on both the dvd sales software inside temperature and the rate at which the car heats up;
Your dog is dvd sales software designed to conserve heat and only has sweat glands on his paw pads and dvd sales software his nose;
Your dog regulates his temperature by panting - expelling warm air and dvd sales software inhaling cool air. In a hot car he will be breathing in hot air and dvd sales software so fighting a losing battle against heatstroke; and
Even if you dvd sales software get your dog out of the car and cool him down, he may have dvd sales software suffered long term damage to his brain and internal organs.

Frightening isn't it?

A dog in a parked car in the summer is a death trap.
