Both Hot and Cold weather can be deadly to your pet. In hot weather even if you've parked the car in the shade, or cracked the window, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously high in a matter of minutes. If left too long your pet could suffer from Heatstroke, irreparable brain damage, even death.
The same applies to cold weather, just because your pet has a fur coat doesn't mean they are protected in freezing weather. If your pet is young, old, or ill keep it inside when the temperature dips below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid a skin reaction, or accidental poisoning, wipe the paws thoroughly to remove salt, road chemicals, and ice particles from the footpads. Check the tail, tips of ears, and pads of feet for signs of frostbite, which include pale blue, or, in later stages, black skin discoloration. If you suspect your pet is ill see the veterinarian at once.
