According to the Stanford University School of Medicine, temperatures
inside cars rise dramatically even on mild days. Even if outside
temperature is as low as 72 degrees, a car's
interior temperature heats up by an average of 40 degrees within an
hour. The study also showed a cracked
window had no effect on the rate of heating and the final internal temperature after an hour. Pets are susceptible to overheating because most animals, like dogs, are designed to conserve heat and do not have sweat glands to help cool them down. And unlike their owners, pets can't roll down windows, turn on the air conditioner or open doors so they can leave the vehicle. |
