This is a thermal image of a dog with a portion of its body shaved and the other portion not shaved. The non-shaved portion is at 24°C and the shaved portion at 30°C. The hair is present for several reasons, mainly for thermal regulation ☀🌡

Stop shaving dogs you're not helping them.

Excellent advice regardless of where you live.

If you have a dog that bolts, a scared dog or a dog you don’t know that you are transporting, this tip is super helpful. Close the handle of the leash in your door. That way you can grab it before ever opening the door. (It also helps keep the dog from moving around a bunch in the car.)

A couple points to clarify:

-ideally an impact resistant crate would be used for transport
-seat belts and tethers are also good when used with harnesses

Unfortunately there are lots of instances where people can’t afford or don’t have these items so a leash on the door is better than nothing.

Clarifying point 2:

This post isn’t necessarily for owners. If you own dogs, yes you should have proper safety equipment. But a lot of people transport dogs for various reasons and cannot always have dog safety equipment on board. People find loose dogs.

People transport for rescues and don’t control what the animal comes with. People foster and are given “supplies” which rarely include seatbelts/tethers and harnesses. And sometimes people have too many dogs to have space for enough crates.

This is just a quick tip for people who don’t have other safety measures. If you have those, great. If this post can save one dog from getting hit by a car then I’m ok with it.

WELCOME back to Freya & Friends. And yes, Freya has a new "sister." I also call her a yellow Border Collie, because really she mimics Freya. The two of them ...
