Well, I've seen this before. When animals are a commodity their health and safety is compromised. When people aren't treated well or fairly the production levels and quality of work (in this case living, breathing lives) falls. It's never ceased to amaze me that these yahoos who are managing corporate America do not know these things yet. I've been saying this for a long time PetSmart is no friend to animals. They are responsible for keeping puppy and kitten mills operating. PLEASE, PLEASE, try not to shop there.

Sounds like this breed is starting to become more popular in the pet market!

Temperatures inside a car can reach over 120 degrees in 10 minutes! In the south where we live this can happen as early as May! The actual numbers are not available because most of the time this abuse is not reported. Remember it is not a courtesy to alert an owner to a convulsing pet left in a car. It is against the law to leave a child or animal in a car, because that is abuse! Break a window, rescue a life! Thanks again for posting this.

It's good to have but needs an exterior tag for best results. There's a great new pet id tag called Pawtags Rescue at www.pawtags.com. Each tag has its own ID number and 24/7 Live Operator toll free number. You can list up to ten contact numbers, rabies id, city licensing, micro-chip and Vet-Med info in your pet profile. It’s private and used only by the Operators to rescue your pet. They also have a great PAWS Alert Lost pet auto-poster for members and the only ones with a nationwide zip code search program that gives you every Animal Control facility within 50 square miles—that’s the only place your pet will end up at. All this for only $10 for lifetime guaranteed tag and first year Live Operator Rescue service. Its only 19.99 at any time to upgrade to a Lifetime membership. Tags are cool and weatherproof and transferable. Good deal and nice knowing your pet has a live 24/7 team to protect them. Kind of like the Verizon commercials!
