BellySlater Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm off to Scotland for a week and would like to take my Vizla. He's not kennelled at home and dogs are not allowed in the cottage - friends are taking labs that will be in a trailer Kennel but I believe one of them is a bit of a fighter - anyone "kennel" their dog in a car boot ( large boot -LR Discovery ) whilst away ?

JDog Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 There shouldn't be a problem. Just use the dogs normal bedding and try it out for a few nights before you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yes, used to do the same on occasions when in Scotland goose shooting. Had no problems at all. As JDog says, use your dogs usual bedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 My dog regularly sleeps in the car boot when we go away in the caravan. He normally stays in his crate in the awning but goes in the car if its particularly cold or we cant be bothered to put the awning up for couple of nights.

Fal Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've left mine in the back of the van too, I take his exact crate he sleeps in at home and his usual bedding as JDog says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasechicken Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Glad we're not the only ones! If we stay with awkward family members who don't allow dogs in their house, or if we're at a horse show or even the odd night at a hotel that doesn't allow dogs, the dog will generally sleep in the boot (Freelander 2). We wouldn't do it in the depths or winter or height of summer, but the rest of the time I think it's fine. When possible we'd have a second dog in there just so he's got company but I don't see the big deal. My girlfriend's colleagues all think we're cruel and want to report us to the RSPCA but the dog has water, fresh air and actually familiar surroundings so I don't see the problem..!
