| Transport of Dogs in Open Cargo Areas of Pickup Trucks |
|
(Approved by the AVMA Executive Board June 2001; revised April 2008; oversight: Animal Welfare Committee)
|
| |
|
Transport of dogs, loose or tethered, in open cargo areas of pickup trucks is not safe. Properly secured, size-appropriate kennels that are appropriately ventilated and allow climatic conditions suitable for a dog's breed and conditioning to be maintained are the preferred means of transport of dogs in open cargo areas of pickup trucks.
