Party Marty, here with my beef of the day: Why on earth would fools leave a pet in the car in such extreme hot temperatures as we are currently experiencing? It’s crazy! That’s a death sentence for the animal! Let me give you a little rundown of temperatures outside and how they compare to the heat on the inside of your car:

Outside temp      Inside the car   Time it takes to reach that temp

75                                 100                                    10 minutes

75                                120                                    30 minutes

85                                90                                      5 minutes

85                                100                                    7-10 minutes

85                                120                                    30 minutes

100                              140                                    15 minutes

So, PLEASE! Don’t bring your loving pet with you on those “quick errands” in this crazy heat! Be kind! How would YOU like to be left in a hot car like that? Yeah…I thought not!
