Domestic animals and summer heat: how to prevent risks and dangers
Just as for humans, even for our four-legged friends the high temperatures can be lethal enemies. For example, dogs that are not in optimal physical conditions or that have heart problems may be particularly sensitive. Big risk also for animals in old age or for puppies.
The heat stroke occurs with very accelerated or difficult breathing, vomiting, high body temperature, difficulty walking, red mucous membranes, up to reaching convulsive seizures and collapse.
The first thing to do in these circumstances is to wet the dog with water or wrap it in a fresh and wet towel, taking care to avoid too rapid cooling as it can cause unpleasant side effects.
How to prevent such risks?
The primary advice is not to leave the animal alone in the car.
Therefore, avoiding dogs and cats staying too long inside the car, even with the windows partially open and the car parked in the shade, because the internal temperature can go up a lot: from 10 ° C to 15 ° C every fifteen minutes. Even on cool days, with temperatures around 22 ° C, the passenger compartment can overheat up to 40 ° C.
To compensate for this, I.P.S. International Products & Services, an Italian company that for over forty years has been designing and manufacturing 100% MADE IN ITALY unique products, has created the innovative
PET AUTO ALERT, the liquid crystal thermometer designed exclusively to detect the temperature inside the car, thus avoiding possible lethal damage to the animal.
PET AUTO ALERT, with its unique fully customizable design, also acts as a reminder for dogs or cats’ owners. Indeed, PET AUTO ALERT will be the indispensable object that will allow all owners of dogs and cats complete peace of mind when they bring their animal in the car on hot summer days.
