Help your dog avoid death or injury by transporting them safely in your pickup truck.
More than 100,000 dogs die each year from falling out of pickup trucks, according to Joanne Helperin of Edmunds.com. Although it is not recommended by most experts to allow a dog to ride in the back of a pickup truck, there is a relatively safe way to transport your dog in a pickup truck. Keep in mind that some states have laws that do not allow dogs to ride in the back of a pickup truck at all.
Instructions
1. Place a dog crate in the back of your pickup bed. The dog crate will keep your dog contained and prevent it from flying out of truck.
2. Tie the dog crate securely to the bed of your truck with strong rope. This will prevent the dog crate to fall out of your truck.
3. Place a special harness on your dog. Make sure the harness is the correct size for your dog. A harness that is too tight will cause your dog to be uncomfortable. A harness that is too loose will become unattached to the dog making the harness useless.
4. Load the dog into the dog crate.
5. Attach the harness of the dog securely to the inside of your dog crate. The harness will keep your dog secure in the crate, preventing it from being thrown around inside.
