Hot weather can make people not only happy, but also make them feel worse.

Animals, including dogs, can be especially susceptible to high temperatures.

During hot weather, you shouldn't leave your dog in an overheated car. The Moscow Agency reports details, citing RKF President Vladimir Golubev.

It is noted that if the outdoor thermometer shows below 20 degrees Celsius, then the dog can safely be left in the car for 5 minutes. At temperatures above 20 degrees, the pet cannot be left alone.

It is also known that in hot weather, the car interior begins to resemble a greenhouse. In such conditions, even a few minutes can be dangerous for the animal.

According to Golubev, a dog being in a hot car can lead to its death.

He noted that if a pet is found locked in a car, it is important to find the owner. This process can be accelerated with the help of the police or security.
