The law prohibits leaving a pet in a vehicle where the animal is likely to be harmed, usually by the temperature of the vehicle. The law also provides that someone else can use force to enter a locked vehicle to rescue your pet, as long as the pet is in danger and the authorities are notified. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is a safe temperature to leave your animal in a car?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We\u2019d argue that there isn\u2019t a safe temperature for leaving your animal in the car. While 70 degrees feels harmless; a car will heat up much hotter than the exterior temperature, because the metal of your vehicle will heat up, baking the air inside. This is why your seats and seatbelts feel much hotter than the outside temperature. Furthermore, you might think that you will only be gone for ten minutes, but we often lose track of time or get held up longer than we plan.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/how-many-national-parks-forests-and-monuments-are-there-in-arizona\/\">How many national parks are in Arizona?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Three reasons to not leave your dog in a vehicle in the winter<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/03\/08094059\/Dogs-looking-from-window_b.png\" alt=\"Dogs looking from a vehicle's window \" class=\"wp-image-12631 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/03\/08094059\/Dogs-looking-from-window_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/03\/08094059\/Dogs-looking-from-window_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To summarize what we\u2019ve talked about, we\u2019ll end with the top three reasons not to leave your dog alone.
