Flow of Life – Animal Rescue Kit for Car Trapped Pets
by Ontario SPCA and Humane Society | Interesting | July 11, 2019
What do you do when it’s the hottest day of the summer and you come across an animal locked inside a car? The sun is beating down, and you don’t know how long until the owner returns or where to find them.
There’s only a slight crack in the car window and you begin to panic and consider breaking the window to get in, but it could be a costly decision that could risk injuring the animal or possibly get you in trouble with the law.
The clock is ticking; every minute counts.
The Flow-of-Life® kit provides a safe method to get desperately needed cool air and fresh water to a pet locked inside a car with zero damage to the vehicle.
The kit’s cold air supply tubing helps to mediate heat levels fast, by connecting your cool car to the animal’s car and pumping in cool air through a motorized hose plugged into your light socket.
While you are pumping cool air into the locked car, you can also use the The Flow-of-Life® kit water dispenser to deliver fresh water to the animal locked inside. This can help lower the animal’s internal temperatures as they drink and help bring them back to a stable condition where their panting can help them start to cool down.
Many people continue to leave pets in their vehicles with the window cracked, thinking, “I’ll only be gone for a minute.” The reality is parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures – even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows slightly open.
Dogs have a limited ability to sweat; even a short time in a hot environment can be life-threatening.
The Flow-of-Life® kit, designed by Canadians, provides a potentially life-saving solution to pets left in hot cars. Visit petrescuekit.com to find out more.
If you see an animal in distress in the heat, please call the government 24/7 animal cruelty hotline, 1-833-9ANIMAL.
