Temperatures will break the 30-degree mark in Prince George for the first time this year over the next few days.
The SPCA is urging people to take extra care of their pets during this time, especially if they are joining you in the car.
“We hear it all the time, ‘I was just running into the store, I was only gone a few minutes!’ but what many people don’t understand is that even a few minutes can have fatal effects for an animal,” says Eileen Drever, senior officer for protection and stakeholder relations for the BC SPCA.
“You might think your pet wants the company of joining you on your errands. Unless you know for sure you can bring them with you into the stores you plan to visit, we encourage you to leave pets at home where the temperature is more controlled, there’s more space and they have easy access to fresh water.”
