I recently saw a clip on the news where their meterologist sat in a car on a hot day. Her blood pressures went to almost 106 in about 10 minutes. They said an animals would rise faster because of their size and coat.
Our Shih Tzu puppy sometimes gets warm with the air running in our moving car! I bought an ice pack on Amazon that fits inside Lexi's car seat. It has a cover but Mom is also going to make a case out of an old towel to wrap around it so her skin doesn't touch it in any way. I'm hoping this will help keep her cool.

I agree with you. The major problem with dogs are they do not have pores to help with the heat. I make sure the middle air vents reach the back seat for zack and zoe.
