You might think you are going for a quick car ride with your pet, but perhaps there is a traffic jam, a road block, a detour or an air conditioning failure.

To avoid worry, pop into the drugstore today and pick up a couple of those disposable cold packs - the ones you break and shake for sports injuries. Then, if the temperature rises, you and your pet will still keep cool and relatively comfy with a chilly ice pack sitting on your hot necks.
