DOGS TRAVELING ON THE BACK OF OPEN VEHICLES

DOGS TRAVELING ON THE BACK OF OPEN VEHICLES - There has been an increase in the number of dogs that have become lost, badly injured or lost their lives because they are not properly restrained in a vehicle - those dogs riding in the back of pick-up trucks are particularly at risk. If you're unable to keep your dog inside the vehicle, please make sure that someone is in attendance in the back with the dog (which is suitably secure in a harness or at least a collar and lead), or install a secured crate which is positioned in the centre of the truck box, or tether the dog securely with a short harness to ensure safety from strangulation. A covering of some sort will help protect your dog from weather extremes, dehydration and heat stroke. By law, we have to buckle up - isn't your dog worthy of the same consideration?
