So, as I'm sure you all know, it's pretty common at dog shows and such to leave dogs securely crated in vans and SUVs with the windows down and the hatch open. Because I've now got 3, count 'em, 3 dogs that I'm actively training, sometimes all at once or back to back, it's not practical for me to lug crates into whatever facility we're at.
So what I'm asking is:
A.) Up to what temperature (thinking hot, not cold) would you feel comfortable using such a set up for your dogs? They would, of course, have water.
B.) What clever ideas do you have to mitigate heat stress? I was thinking battery powered box fans on crates, and some form of cooling matts?
Thoughts?
