#NoHotPets

June 23, 2015

Every year pet fatalities occur when animals are left in hot vehicles.

The Ontario SPCA is once again running their award-winning online initiative #NoHotPets, which aims to educate the public about the severe dangers of leaving pets in cars during the summer, even 'just for a minute' while they run errands. 

Guardians who choose to leave their pets in a vehicle may face criminal charges under the Ontario SPCA Act, or the Criminal Code of Canada.

Pets do not sweat, and so they are much less able to cope with extreme hot temperatures than we are. Heat stroke is swift to set in, leading to a number of deaths each year.

Just because windows might be open on a vehicle does not mean that the temperature will not rise to potentially deadly levels. If your pet is showing signs of heatstroke, call your local emergency veterinary clinic immediately.

For more information on how dangerous it is to leave your pet in a vehicle, view the OSPCA's #NoHotPets  Fast Facts.

Spread The Word. Take The Pledge . Visit nohotpets.ca today .

If you do see a pet that has been left in a hot vehicle this summer, contact the Ontario SPCA or local humane society or call the police.

Dog Breed of the Month - Afghan Hound

June 29, 2017
This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Summer Heat Warnings

June 12, 2017
Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.

Exercise Essentials

May 31, 2017
A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.
