It’s still a hot day out there in parts of Nova Scotia! Please keep your pets safe and cool inside at home.
If you see a pet in a hot car, remember to ACT. A-C-T. ❗
A – Assess the situation. Signs that a pet may be in distress from overheating include exaggerated panting, rapid breathing, drooling, dark pink gums, lack of coordination, inability to get up, vomiting, convulsions or collapse. 😿
C – Collect information. Note relevant information about the vehicle (make, model, license plate, colour, exact location) and pet’s description (species, size, colour, breed if known). 🚗🐾
T – Time to call. ☎️ If you cannot find the owner and the animal is in distress, call your local police, RCMP, or the Nova Scotia SPCA at 1-888-703-7722 and stay at the vehicle until reinforcements arrive.
Please save and share this. It's not cool to keep pets in hot cars. 💙
