In these warmer months a quick trip to the shop in the car does not mean much to us, but for our dogs it is a different matter. The temperature between inside a car and outside is staggeringly different; cars can become like ovens with temperatures soaring to open, it can take just 20 minutes for dogs to suffer from heatstroke and die an agonising death.

Even responsible dog owners can make the mistake of not realising just how lethal travelling in the heat with their dog can be and the Kennel Club has produced a set of guidelines outlining the safe way to travel with your dog in these warmer months.

Full guidelines for dogs in hot cars

Remember hot dogs are NOT cool in cars ever! Look out for the Kennel Club campaign over the summer which will involve posters and mesh car shades, together with an information guide on ‘Road Travel with your Dog’.
