As a responsible dog owner I do not advocate leaving a dog in a car at anytime, especially in the summer. Do you remember the tragic case last year; of the two police dogs that died in the rear of a vehicle due to heat exhaustion? They were left unattended for only a short period of time, an extremely unfortunate case indeed, but a situation that could have been avoided.
Picture this scenario, one that we all may have found ourselves in before. You’re en-route to your holiday destination, the motorway traffic comes to a stand-still, the sun is blazing down and the temperature inside the vehicle starts to rise rapidly. After hours of travelling at a snail’s pace, your dog will be in need of water and fresh air. You can’t let them out because you are stuck on a motorway, you can turn up the air-con but that will not stop your dog from suffering the ill effects of the heat generated by the sun beating down on your car.
Every year, Whitehorse Tints carry out many UV window film installations on vehicles, mostly to keep dogs cooler in the back. Whether it’s a show dog or a much loved family pet. window tinting will significantly reduce the heat build-up in a car helping to reduce heat exhaustion and dehydration.
But please remember, never leave a pet unattended in a car on a hot day, it’s just not right! For more information on the safe transportation of animals visit
