Ute trays get hot!
While your dog may love the wind in their hair while travelling on the back of a ute, always check the utes surface temperature before allowing them to travel on them.
Ute trays should be covered with a material that will not hold the heat to prevent serious burns to your dogs paws.
Metal trays heat up and hold the heat at cooking temperature on hot summer days so before you let your dog up, check the temperature by holding the back of your hand on the tray surface for 10 seconds, if it is too hot for your hand it is too hot for your dogs paws.
