Hot Dogs

In partnership with:

Remind pet owners to not leave their furry friends in hot cars.

30 mins - 1 hour

The Problem

A pet can experience a 40° rise in temperature and irreversible organ damage or death after spending an hour in a car.

The Solution

Most pet parents don't know how dangerous it is to leave their pup in the car, even for just a few minutes. Informing people can make them less likely to put their pets in dangerous situations.

Print our paw-print flyers found in the Stuff You Need section below! Then plaster the flyers in parking lots of pet stores, dog parks, kennels, and vets -- anywhere pet owners hang out. Let's make sure our furry friends don't get fried!
