Traveling with pets in an RV or boat brings great joy to many pet owners, but protecting pets from temperature extremes while parked or at the dock can be a big challenge. Dogs and cats can quickly succumb to heat stroke<\/a>\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0because their furry bodies cannot sweat to dissipate heat. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0When their body\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s core temperature rises too fast and too high, their health is at serious risk. If you’re looking for a way to monitor the inside temperature of your RV or boat when you are forced to leave your pet behind for a few hours, a cellular temperature alarm may be the solution.\"Keep<\/a><\/p>\n

A Familiar Scenario<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Let\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s say you are on the road in the RV with your family and dog enjoying an exciting summer vacation. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0You just got situated in the RV park and the kids are begging to walk to town for dinner. With the outside temperature hovering around 75 degrees, you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re reluctant to leave Fido locked in the RV, but you can’t bring him with you to the restaurant. Sound familiar? You finally decide that Fido will be OK for a couple of hours if you leave the A\/C running and give him plenty of fresh water. Nevertheless, you still have that nagging concern that if the power goes out or the A\/C fails, your pet will suffer and the outcome may be fatal. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Ugh. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Now imagine that you have a device that continuously monitors the temperature inside the RV and sends you an alert on your cell phone if there’s a temperature emergency. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Dinner just got better! \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0That device exists and it’s called a cellular temperature alarm<\/a><\/strong>\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0or cellular heat alarm.<\/p>\n

What is a Temperature Alarm?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

A temperature alarm monitors indoor temperature and sends a notification if it gets too hot or too cold.
