Pet owners should consider doing some of the following when leaving their animals in a parked vehicle: park in the shade, decide not to park a car, or leave a pet inside the vehicle, if there are extreme weather conditions, leave plenty of food and fresh water for the animal, use a sunscreen on the car’s windshield to block sunlight, occasionally return to the vehicle to check on the animal, and use a pet temperature monitor, to check on the temperature inside the vehicle.
