Local authorities, organisations and police have been called to a number of instances of dogs locked inside parked cars in Colwyn Bay during the current hot weather. They are warning drivers that they risk a massive fine and potential damage to their cars if they persist in leaving their pets in vehicles even for a few minutes.
The RSPCA have once again warned the public to be vigilant and immediately report any animals appearing to be unattended in vehicles during the heatwave.
On Monday across the country they reported being called 167 times - almost one call every few minutes. A spokesman said that it was easy for members of the public intending to pop out of their vechicles for just a minute to get distracted, held up or simply forget about their pet.
Experts say that in this heat cars can heat up to 35 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
