30. Leaving Them In Hot Cars

Not only to dogs hate being left in hot cars, it’s dangerous! When it’s 80 degrees outside the car, inside can heat up to over 100 degrees. With no airflow, a dog can easily get heatstroke or suffocation. If you’ve ever sat for five minutes in a hot car, you know how miserable it is.
Dogs don’t sweat, either, and can only regulate their temperature through panting. You wouldn’t leave a baby in a hot car – so definitely don’t leave your dog in one. If it can be avoided, leave your dog at home. And if it can’t, make sure to take your dog with you when you get out of the car, even if it’s only going to be for five minutes.

A lot of these are just common sense (which I know is sadly lacking in some folks) but it all depends on the dog. Besides that, being the incredibly intuitive and sensitive creatures that they are, they will adapt to how you express affection. Our dogs will lick our faces off if we let them, and we kiss their little heads in return.

1 is ALL BS!! 3 is optional, depending on if you talk to you dog and tell them how much you love them. 4 is ALL OUT BS!! WHAT BRAINLESS IDIOT COMES UP WITH THIS?

Dogs love car rides, and of course you shouldn’t give them spoiled food!!! Most of these are common sense, but we know dogs have more common sense than most people!!!
