Most dogs have loved car rides since forever, and when I was a kid, most cars didn't have AC. Not in the Stone Age, in the late 80s/early 90s. Being in a moving car without AC with the windows down is a dramatically different experience than being in a house or other enclosed space without AC. I feel like, once the car cools down and you get going, a car with the windows down on a 100 degree sunny day is the equivalent of like 75-80 degrees. Hot, but not uncomfortable or dangerous. And it's not like he's a Newfoundland, he's a poodle with a short hair cut.

Is he happy and hanging his head out the window loving life? Then do it! Give him water before you leave and upon return.

If he's curled up in the back seat, then he's a dog that doesn't like car rides. I wouldn't. [/quote]

I agree with this - folks here have lost their minds.

If you are driving with the windows down, the dog will likely be just fine.  The only exception would be if the dog is an extreme Brachycephalic type such as French or English Bulldog and/or is extremely overweight.
