NEVER Leave Your Pet in a Hot Car
Shih Tzus are wonderful companions and in addition to hanging out with them at home, you may enjoy bringing your pet with you while you run errands. While many businesses are becoming pet-friendly, there are also businesses that do not allow pets that are not service animals. If you’re making a trip to your local pet store, feel free to bring your Shih Tzu with you. However, if you’re dining indoors with a friend for a lunch date, leave your furry companion at home. Even if you provide cold water for your pet and leave the windows rolled down, this can have potentially deadly consequences. The inside of a vehicle can easily climb to over 100 degrees within just minutes on a hot summer day. While you may want your pet to accompany you everywhere you go, if you can’t bring your Shih Tzu with you and have to leave him or her in the vehicle, your pet is better off left at home.
