Dogs in crates in truck bed question

[Change Up]

Just make sure you crate is tied down correct that it can not move around. Those crates with dogs in them are like missiles in a wreck. I keep my orange juice boxes and freeze them with water. By the time we get some where she has all the paper chewed off and is licking on a block of ice.

I put a king size blanket over my backseat, then put one of those dog pads that isn't big enough to cover a full size truck seat on top. It holds the blanket in place really well. Once a week I roll them both up and wash them. I have never had a problem with dog hair in my truck.

Gunner use to ride in the back seat, but I also got tired of the hair, even covering the seat, the crap finds a way to get on everything. He's crate only now, even on long trips. When in the crate, it is shaded, and with a 70 mph breeze, it doesn't allow the heat to build up inside. If I stop for gas, I'll get him some water and let him run around a minute, but I don't make any special accommodations. He's always been just fine.

I am in the same situation. Put a sheet over the seat. I am in the process of ordering seat covers so the leather won't get scratched. My truck is only a year old. Basically brand new still.

Is it the lab in your avatar? I would be more concerned about a lab that for example a blue lacy, just a thicker coat so they will get hotter. Even so, for a 3 hour trip I would make at least one stop and give the dog a chance to drink water and soak the dog with water.

I also like Change Up's idea.

Do any of yall keep your blood trailing dog in a crate while you are hunting? Our lease doent have a house on it so when I am hunting there I plan on puttin her in the crate in the truck bed...i know later in the season she will be fine but wondering about bow season.

Park your truck under a shade tree and leave him a bowl of water inside. Would be no different than being in the back yard

Fold the back seat up and put the kennel back there. No dog hair to worry about and don't have to worry about overheating your dog.

Good idea, but wouldn't work for me. Wife wouldn't be too happy if I put the dogs inside the truck and the kids rode in the bed of the truck .

Mine ride shotgun and I have my truck detailed about once a month.

I believe a Mormon gentleman lost a Presidential election over something like this.

I'd rather have dog hair in my truck than not ride with her. She might be spoiled.

This what I have in my truck. I've spoiled my dogs too long by letting them in the cab. I'd feel bad if I put me in the bed now.
