Keeping your pet cool in the car

Posted on Thursday, 14th July 2011 - 2:35pm in Articles by Lezli

Every year dogs die after being left in the car.  Even a 'few minutes while I just ...' can cause your pet real distress when the weather's hot.

There are loads of walks and cafes/pubs on the DwD site (not just the motorway dog walks) to help you plan long journeys with dog stops where you don't have to leave your dog in the car.

There's also useful information about what to do if you think your dog is suffering from heat-stroke on http://www.keepyourdogcool.co.uk/ - with posters to print off and put up in your local supermarket/library etc

Dogs Today magazine have also launched a 2011 campaign 'Don't Cook your Dog' and you can get free stickers from their website, just click on the link below.

MOTORWAY WALKS - The Book

With nearly 200 walks from the Driving with Dogs website, this handy little book is an ideal guide to the best dog-friendly pubs and dog walks within 5 miles of UK motorway exits.

Like the website walks, you'll also find information about campervan access, disabled facilities, kids' activities, safe parking places, sat-nav codes and written route directions too.

Walking the Dog: Motorway Walks for dogs and drivers is available from the RAC shop (link URL http://www.racshop.co.uk/rac-books.html) and all the usual online bookstores such as amazon.

If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy in stock, you can order by quoting the ISBN number: 978-1-845841-02-7
