Never leave your dog in a car in the summer heat. According to the AKC, leaving the windows rolled down will not help the situation. Even when it's just 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it can quickly rise to over 120 degrees inside a car — in a matter of minutes. Dogs can't sweat. They cool off by panting, so an overheated dog will drool excessively. Other signs of heatstroke in pets may include panting, rapid pulse and fever. Also remember to never leave your pet alone in direct sunlight.
