Do you leave your dog in the car?

i don't see the problem ... i used to bring my dog to work and she stayed in the car for an entire work day ... i did that for several months because there was a construction crew at my place ... i would go out at lunch and take her for a quick walk ... the weather was fine so what would the problem be ??? and i agree, what is the difference between a crate and a car, the car has more room and is more interesting for the dog ...

Yes I do. Depending on the weather. I am a Brit and when I lived in England I would let the dogs stay in the car, with the windows down, if it was cool outside but never in the summer heat. Lots of people have car stickers in the UK that say "Dogs die in hot cars", because they do! Now we live in a warmer climate and it's a little different. It really depends on the dog. Most of our dogs have loved the car and now I take them pretty much everywhere with us and leave them in the shade, with plenty of water, all the car windows open and the back door wide open. They love it and it means they get more walks (with us, as they're right there if we decide to go for a family hike). Some dogs just prefer a nap at home.

Yes I have. When I travel for dog shows, I will not leave my dogs in a hotel room unattended while I go out to eat, so as long as the weather is appropraite, I will go out to eat after a show, the dogs are crated int he car and the car is parked within view of where I'm eating. They are safe and comfortable in there.

Needless to say, I do not leave them in the car in the hot weather. But if it's 70 degrees or less, they can certainly stay there. You can not see into my vehicle, the dogs are crated and quiet and safe.

automobiles amplify the warmth, so a cloudy day with sunlight ought to nevertheless reason heatstroke if the dogs became left long adequate, while a warm day could carry on the indications that plenty swifter. proprietors might intend to be long gone for a jiffy, yet what proportion cases are they away longer caught up with something and the dogs continues to be longer in an an increasing sort of warm vehicle. Then there is the secure practices subject, as in some international places/components, dogs theft is a genuine subject, with dogs taken from automobiles to be bought on or ransomed back to its proprietor for a value. in spite of the fact that the components or reason of leaving a dogs in vehicle, that's not nicely worth risking heatstroke or dogs theft, so if I actual have issues to do to my dogs stay at abode.

Yes, in the winter months I will take him to our local farm store they allow pets and I want Casar to stay used to being around people and other dogs. I do not cage mine but he is typical guy has to get away for awhile. Also when I just make a run to the grocery store he stays in the back seat and I lock the doors. Leave him in the car for the length of a movie, no way. Short time and I talking less than fifteen min. yes.

I wouldn't do it. I worked at a store once and a customer left a dog in the car. Another customer called the cops and they had a lot of problems after that. The cops were actually trying to get into the car to take the dog.

As long as the weather isn't too hot or too cold, I do. But, I've never left them in the car for more than 10 minutes. I would never leave them if I wasn't within a few yards of the car, though. All of my dogs LOVE the car!

I leave mine in there if I've just taken them for a long walk somewhere nice and I have to nip into a shop for no more than 15mins but I get very nervous of leaving them! I have heard of people stealing dogs out of cars which is why I would never leave them for long. Of course would never leave them if cold or hot weather.

Three of my four dogs love the car and I take one or two of them almost every time I leave the house except when I have class or I'm going to be gone for more than an hour and they would have to sit in the car by themselves for more than an hour. I live in Southern California and sometimes its to hot to leave them in the car for any length of time. But I used to live at a higher elevation and it never got above 75 and everyone in town took their dogs everywhere.

Maybe not for a whole movie, but if the conditions are good I def bring them along for errands. No more than about 20 mins... and ONLY if it isn't scorching or freezing outside. Our dog is really well behaved and likes to ride with me, so I don't worry about him that much.
