Summertime and Your Animals --- Summertime and Your Animals
Summer in Wisconsin is beautiful; at times though we can really heat up! this is just a reminder that our cars can turn in to ovens very quickly under the hot sun! Please do not leave your animals or children in vehicles unattended for even a minute; it can warm up to over a 100 degrees in a very short time!
Animals and children do not have the skills to open windows or turn on the air conditioning system so please keep this in mind if you decide to leave them in the car alone.
If you do notice that someone has left an animal or child in a car unattended, please call Countryside in regards to animals or your local police enforcement in regards to children. We will do our best to help solve the situation and prevent any animal or child from suffering!
There is also a great website that will help us keep our dogs safe and cool this summer. http://www.mydogiscool.com/
