Joyce Coomer: Hot cars are deadly for pets, too Joyce M. Coomer writes: To pet parents: - Remember that hot cars are as deadly for pets as they are for children. Please, if you possibly can, do not take your pets when you go shopping. There are very few stores pets are allowed into and even though you may open a window an inch or two, that does not alleviate the heat enough to prevent a pet from having heat stroke or dying from being overheated.- Joyce M.
