Don't Leave Your Dog in a Parked Car, Even in Cooler Weather
September 21, 2023
Even as temperatures drop and summer comes to a close, don’t leave your dog in a parked car for any period of time.
The temperature inside a parked car can climb 19 degrees in less than 10 minutes. Cooler summer weather still leaves your dog at risk of dehydration, heat stroke, or death when left in a car.
Residents who come across a pet in a hot car should immediately call Mesa County Animal Services at 970-242-4646.
