Ontario SPCA launches No Hot Pets campaign

By Paul Martin Jun 22, 2026 | 10:10 AM

As summer adventures heat up, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is launching its annual No Hot Pets campaign and calling on animal lovers across the province to help keep pets safe by taking the pledge at nohotpets.ca

Cars can heat up quickly, putting animals in danger within minutes – even on mild days. By pledging to never leave an animal unattended in a vehicle, you’ll help spread an important message and will also be entered for a chance to win a YETI prize pack.

The Ontario SPCA is encouraging everyone to help keep the message going strong this summer. Animal lovers can:

  • Take the pledge at nohotpets.ca and encourage friends and family to do the same
  • Share the No Hot Pets message on social media using downloadable graphics and resources
  • Encourage pet-friendly businesses to help spread awareness
  • Access free digital tools, care tips, and resources at nohotpets.ca 

If you see an animal in distress due to the heat, act quickly. Call Provincial Animal Welfare Services at 1-833-9ANIMAL or your local police. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

This summer, take the No Hot Pets pledge, spread the word, and help keep pets cool and safe across Ontario. Visit nohotpets.ca
