I really don't countenance leaving your dog in your car but when you have to transport it you need to make sure it's safe. I've bought one of these and it is a fantastic bit of kit, a bargain at the price to know your dog is safe!
http://www.arrak.co.uk/AnimAlarm/b/2816141...=AnimAlarm 
AnimAlarm is an Award Winning, innovative, portable and easy to use temperature warning system that allows you to monitor the temperature in any environment ensuring that your dog is safe and comfortable at all times. Remove the worry from travelling with your faithful friend. Going on holiday and taking your dog in a car, camper, caravan or on a ferry? Going out for the day or have a show or working dog that you need to transport? AnimAlarm will alert you via text message to high and low temperatures that might affect the well being of your dog on the move. Animalarm could save your dogs life! AnimAlarm now ensures that your dog is no longer at risk from extremes of temperature by sending an alert to your mobile phone taking the guess work out of it for you. The AnimAlarm will send a text message every 1°C or 2°F when it goes beyond the trigger temperatures. You can also ‘poll’ it at any time from any phone to receive a current temperature text message. The AnimAlarm is simple to use with both Fahrenheit and Centigrade settings. It also has an ECO mode for long term monitoring so it is ideal for use when monitoring the temperature in kennels, conservatories, barns and other outbuildings. You can change your nominated mobile phone in seconds via a text message and it is supplied with two chargers, a double USB car charger, a double USB home charger and USB lead. The AnimAlarm utilises the gsm network because of its robust reliability and superior coverage both nationally and internationally. It requires a SIM card which comes included.[/img][/url] Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

Looks useful. Not sure I would want to leave dogs alone in a car with it incase the technology fails.

what a stupid idea, anyone who leavers a dog in the car during our warmer months, deserves to have thier windows smashed.

Agreed if the windows are shut but I did add further down "they are in the cage in the back with the tailgate and windows open so it's a useful check that it's not getting too warm in there." I don't think that makes the alarm a stupid idea? |

I do not like leaving our two dogs in the car but if necessary I use on of these on my D3 tailgate and also have window grilles in all 4 side windows.

Can't see it taking off, I refuse to leave my dogs in the car, ever. It's just wrong, if you have to take them with you then take them out of the car when you reach your destination, otherwise leave them at home. To be honest I don't like leaving them anywhere on their own, there's some crazy people about. I guess my dogs are just lucky, we're with them almost all of the time because we work from home, if I go out fishing, walking, visiting or outside in the garage fiddling then they come with me, if I go shopping they stay at home.
Simple. If we go to the pub.....  Click image to enlarge |

On my 110 station wagon all the back windows are covered in limo black film and there are grills on the windows. When the dogs are in the back of the car I can say hand on heart that it is by far the coolest place for them with the sliding windows wide open. It has been a far better place for them when we've been camping than being out on chains trying to find some shade from the sun. Some of the kennels you find at some attractions I wouldn't put a toy dog in let alone one of mine.

I still reckon that the best configuration for transporting dogs is a DC with an IW canopy - the plain aluminium top keeps the temperature down massively.
I would NEVER leave dogs unattended in the vehicle; if they're in it I am line of sight. If I am not, they're with me. No exceptions. |

In view of all the negative comments ref leaving dogs in cars, I would suggest remarketing this product as a Beeralarm to let concerned campers know if the temperature of the beer they have stashed in the back of their truck is getting too warm !

Errr surely it's more appropriate to say that you would never leave your dogs in a vehicle for extended periods in unsuitable weather conditions? Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW. [Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc] http://forums.lr4x4.com I used to be Miserable ...but now I'm ecstatic. |
