17. Dogs in Cars on Hot Days - Kennel Club Show Schedule Notice Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you
through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and
leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.
• When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
• Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to
drink so your dog stays well hydrated.
• Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time.
Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please
look after your dog’s welfare.
WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY
WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED.
Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their
dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise.
Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under
Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.
Right to Refuse Entries. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation
to refuse any entry.

A Safety Officer will be in attendance throughout the show. Exhibitors and spectators are reminded that just
as Guildford & DCS has a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all those attending their event,
those present have a duty and responsibility for their own safety. They are therefore expected to take the
greatest care to avoid guy ropes, uneven surfaces and other hazards which are inevitable and integral elements of a dog show. Those bringing and using portable items of equipment such as folding chairs, trolleys,
cages and grooming tables also have a responsibility to ensure that their tools, equipment and collapsible
furniture is used and erected safely and does not constitute a hazard to others. Exhibitors are also reminded
that they should wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the prevailing conditions on the site. Exhibitors
show at their own risk if conditions are not ideal.
