No safe temperature, officers say; dogs at risk for nerve damage

As the dog days of summer continue, Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control officers are urging residents to not leave their dogs – or other pets – in vehicles.

There is no safe temperature at which a pet can be left alone in a vehicle, said Peggy Bender, a spokeswoman for Animal Care & Control.

Earlier in the summer an officer rescued a pet in a vehicle when it was 73 degrees outside. The temperature inside: 110 degrees, Bender said.

And Animal Care & Control officers have recorded even higher temperatures by placing a thermometer inside when windows of a vehicle are left slightly open.

A dog’s normal body temperature is about 101 to 102.5 degrees.

Dogs can survive with a high body temperature for only a short time. They will then begin to suffer nerve damage, liver damage and brain damage and possibly death, Bender said. (Read More…..)
