We love our pets. And we spend big bucks to keep them safe and healthy. But do the things we buy really work? Marketplace investigates pet safety products, putting them to the test and revealing why they could put your pet, and your family, at risk.
Keep in mind that these tests were done in 2013. So, now five years later I’m positive other companies have improved or made much better dog harnesses. the only harness during these five year old tests that passed was called the Sleepypod Clickit Utility.
Personally I have looked at a lot of these dog auto restraint harnesses and now see that a number of them are tested to the same standards as child restraint systems. Basically, the majority of the new dog safety car restraint systems are tested with about an 80 pound dog in a 30 mile an hour crash. Read more
Airedale Terrier Summer Safety Tips
Airedale Terrier Summer Safety Tips
When summer comes around, you have to put a little more thought into ensuring the safety of your dog.
My Airedales like to drink a lot of water every day, and that’s especially true after a long hike. But, it’s important to also bring water with you so they can have a drink along the way. I always trim my dogs coats in the spring so that they are much cooler through the spring and summer seasons. Here in the Western United States you also have to keep on the lookout for rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes are usually out early in the morning and later in the day as the sun starts to set. They’re not going to attack you or your dogs but they sure will bite your dogs if curiosity gets the dogs too close. Read more

California Dog Rattlesnake – larger Airedale Terriers encounter usage rattlesnake.
This just occurred early September 2017 in Mission Trails Regional Park in the City of San Diego California.you are working lately. Mission Trails Regional Park youat approximately 5800 ac.² is the largest regional Park this side of the Mississippi. There are a lot of great hiking and mountain bike trails going throughout the park.
I like to take my two mountain Airedale Terriers hiking here usually late in the day when the temperature is going down and we don’t have to go in the direct sun. So, it’s not uncommon that we see quite a few rattlesnakes. Just two weeks ago I saw rattlesnakes on three out of the five days that we took our walks. Read more

That’s horrible. You can tell she really cares for her pets. She could’ve gotten her money back, but instead chose to share this story with the world. Respect to this lady for being so selfless.
