!!! Police dogs die in car !!!
CaniX in the summer months


Following the shocking news that two police dogs were found dead in a hot vehicle parked outside the headquarters of Nottinghamshire Police on Tuesday 30 June 2009, we feel it necessary to reiterate responsible dog ownership with regard to CaniX in the summer months.

We all know not to leave our dogs unattended in a car (at any time of the year), but running with your dogs in the summer months is also dangerous. This is why CaniX UK do not run events during the months of June, July and August.

You should also take this into account with your off season training and not be tempted to Cani-Cross in the heat. When the temperature creeps over 16 degrees Celsius (61 Fahrenheit) you should think twice - even at night the temperature may not drop below 20 C (68 F). Moderation should also be used with general exercise, walking, off lead running, chasing the ball/stick etc. Your dog will run until they drop - by which time it will be too late.

Our advice - enjoy the summer sleeping under a tree. MORE
