Keep Your Pets Safe and Cool this Summer
Sample Message:
As the temperatures rise, help keep your pets safe and cool this summer. Never leave a pet unattended inside a vehicle - the temperature inside a vehicle can rise very quickly and is just as dangerous for pets as it is for people. Rolling down the windows is not a safe alternative. Any pet left inside is at risk for serious heat-related illnesses or even death.
