Urge All States To Enact Laws That Ban Leaving Animals Alone In Cars During Dangerous Temperatures

Created by K.G. on August 03, 2014

Every year, countless dogs die in cars due to extreme temperatures. Despite this, only 15 states have statutes that specifically prohibit leaving an animal in a confined vehicle. Petplan pet insurance believes this a national issue – and that animals need a stronger voice and stronger protection.

That’s why we're petitioning the Obama Administration to encourage all 50 states to enact laws prohibiting animals from being left unattended in cars, exposing them to dangerously hot or cold temperatures. On an 85ºF day, dogs can be at high risk of succumbing to heat stroke in less than 15 minutes... the time it often takes to run a quick errand.

Be a voice for those who cannot speak – sign the petition to save dogs' lives today!
