I think educating ourselves about what's best for our dogs is important. Through some research, our own experience or experience of others we have come upon some dangers I'd like to share. Please read the links below. If you know of others we should include, please email us.
A Word About Crates!
Think your dogs are safe riding in your car or truck WITHOUT being in a crate?
Think Again!
In the Spring of 2000, our friend Bryan was traveling during the drizzly morning hour on his way to a hunting preserve with his two dogs, Reggie and Jax. On a country road, Bryan lost control of his truck and it rolled over several times before landing in a cornfield. Bryan was a little shakin, but otherwise unhurt. The dogs, who had been riding in their crates in the back of the truck, were also shakin', but ok. Take a look at the crates in these pictures. This truck did have a topper on it and it was completely flattend like a pancake. Can you imagine the outcome if the dogs had not been riding in their crates. Next time you think you don't need a crate, THINK AGAIN!
