GNR warns against leaving pets in hot cars
The GNR has issued a public warning advising drivers never to leave animals in parked vehicles during hot weather. The police stress that leaving windows slightly open does not prevent heatstroke, which can be fatal for animals within 20 to 50 minutes as internal car temperatures can exceed 50°C.
Why it mattersIf you are a pet owner, remember that leaving a pet in a parked car, even briefly or with windows cracked, poses a fatal risk to the animal and is a safety concern monitored by the police.
