Extreme Heat Putting Animals In Danger, Rescuers Say
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The dog days of summer are proving to be downright dangerous for man's best friend, officials said. "When we're talking about extreme hot temperatures, (pets) can overheat very, very easily," said Josh Colvin, of the Animal Rescue League. Local Animal Rescue officers said it's been emergency run after emergency run these past days. "This weather will very quickly kill a dog or cat without proper shelter and enough water," said Animal Control Officer Jay Wilson. "We've had one dog in a car, so far in my shift, and two dogs outside that were heat-stressed." Colvin said one of the rescued animals is clinging to life after being overcome by heat. "We've had a case where it did happen, and a dog didn't do well. We have to have a vet take care of the animal," Colvin said. Rescuers said dogs and cats are especially prone to heat exhaustion and even heat stroke. "They've got to have water, even if it's for 10 to 15 minutes, have it available for them," Colvin said. "If (they're) on concrete or on blacktop, they can burn their feet as well." Animal experts said some breeds, including the bulldog, can start exhibiting heat-related illness symptoms within minutes of being outside.Des Moines Animal Rescue League - News
