When the air conditioning unit of a Chicago animal welfare center was stolen, about a hundred cats and dogs were put in danger. The temperature at the time of the robbery was approaching 80 degrees and it was an unsafe heat for many animals to be exposed to. The meager funding that was allocated for the animals’ food and medicine had to be used just to stabilize the units. The incident was a proof of the importance of air conditioners to pets.
Dogs and cats may suffer from heat strokes and heat exhaustion when the environment is too hot. Unlike humans, they cannot expel too much body heat. They only pant and release sweat through their noses and foot pads. When they fail to expel heat effectively, their internal body temperature rises. At a body temperature of 106 degrees, they suffer from damaged brain and body organs. In extreme cases, they die.

The cold air circulation that air conditioners provide can greatly help furry pets regulate their body temperature, especially during summer days when heat waves strike. The cool environment of air-conditioned rooms is also beneficial for more heat-sensitive dogs, including the obese, the ill, and the short-nosed breeds, like pugs and bulldogs.
There may be other ways that dogs and cats regulate their body temperature, but getting help from air conditioners is still one of the safest means. Enjoying cool air inside their owners’ homes, they do not have to wander outdoors and risk being attacked by other animals or impounded by animal control officers. As domesticated animals, they have lost many of their survival skills in the harsh environment and have evolved to share the benefits of technology with their human companions.

ReplyDeleteI have heard so much about this lately. One summer when we left our house, I kept the ac on and my dad yelled at me for wasting electricity. I knew that it was supposed to be one of those hot days and the dog was staying home. I am so glad that I wasn't the only "crazy" one. I have done more research about it and finding that a lot of pet owners now leave their pets in an air conditioned environment during the hot summer days. We have to call our air conditioning repair man to come check out our ac before the summer so the dogs are comfortable during the day. Thanks so much for sharing this article.
