The Ontario government is urging everyone to take the necessary precautions
In a release, provincial officials note "temperatures inside a vehicle can quickly become hotter than the temperature outside even if windows are left slightly open. Pets can be put at risk of serious illness and possibly death due to heat exposure as a result of being left in a vehicle."
Officials suggest pets that cannot leave the car and go with their owners, should be left at home where they will be safe, cool, and comfortable.
Solicitor General Sylvia Jones adding " I am proud that Ontario is the first jurisdiction in Canada to implement a full provincial animal welfare enforcement system to enhance animal safety and ensure strong penalties for those who commit acts of animal cruelty."
If you think any animal is in distress or being abused, call 1-833-9-ANIMAL (264625).
