City of Palm Springs encourages citizens to keep your pets cool during summer

Summer temperatures can get unbearably hot in the Coachella Valley, but they can get downright deadly for pets left in a vehicle, even just for a few minutes – and it’s also illegal. Palm Springs Municipal Code PSMC 10.22.020 prohibits animals from being left unattended in a vehicle any time of the year.

“It is unlawful to leave your dog or cat unattended in an enclosed vehicle and any animal found left unattended will be removed immediately by an animal control officer and taken to the Palm Springs Animal Shelter,” said Chief of Police Bryan Reyes, who oversees Animal Control. “In addition, the owner may be fined and liable for any impound fees and costs. This is a serious offense and we ask that citizens take the well being of their pets responsibly.”

During summer it is also important to remember to avoid walking dogs on hot pavement, if it is too hot for you to feel comfortable, it is too hot to walk your dog.
