dog in car
Anyone know how to lock the ES350 (2017) from outside with no-one in the car but the dog (clever, but clever enough). Want to keep him air-conditioned while we eat. Thanks

Was hoping to see a picture of a cute dog.
Only way I think is to have remote start. One of main reasons I got a aftermarket alarm was for my dog getting AC while in the car. |

That works for 10 minutes, then what?

As a dog owner, I would never keep my dog alone in the car. Even if it's running with the A/C on. It's best just to leave him/her at home. Or go to a pet friendly restaurant to eat.

But there are times when you have no choice, for example, long trip from one home to another with family AND DOG who certainly could not be left at starting point. Pit stops for people rarely accept dogs.

First, don't leave kids or animals unattended in cars.
Second, our dog died last year from cancer. However, we took family trips (two adults, two kids) in our '96 Toyota wagon a couple times a year. To fill up with gas, we took turns watching the dog in the car and walking the dog. For food, we'd get to-go (from wherever) and eat in the car (I raised my kids to be neat and not make messes and crumbs). We didn't do sightseeing if had the dog. |

My $0.02
I've traveled tens of thousands of miles (close to 50,000 miles) with my dogs and never once left them in a locked car unattended. I don't consider leaving a pet in a locked car responsible pet ownership. There are many options available to avoid doing so and none of them require much effort or inconvenience to the pet owner. In about a dozen states, if you see a pet in a locked vehicle, and it appears in distress, you have the legal authority to enter that vehicle to save the pet and you will cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from doing so. In order to avoid the potential for expensive repairs for the owners and the safety of the pets, I'd suggest pet owners consider some reasonable alternatives. Plan ahead for your trips. There are several motels chains that take pets. Book them in advance. Pick up lunch at a drive-thru and eat at a rest stop or a park with your pet, If you are traveling with a companion or family, have them walk with the pet while you satisfy that urgent whim to shop or to relieve yourself. Dogs don't deal with heat like people do. Dogs lack sweat glands and have difficulty staying cool in the heat. Dogs pant when they get overheated in an attempt to cool off. Cars parked in the sun get hot. Even with the windows cracked and the outdoor temperature is in the low to mid 70's, cars become solar ovens and temperatures can easily exceed 100 degrees in just a few minutes and can reach 150-160 degrees in 30-60 minutes. Don't think everything will be ok and you'll only be gone for a few minutes. It could easily lead to the death of your pet. |

Since we never leave our dog alone in the car with a/c on or not. Who knows accident can happen any where any time. |
You people are unbelievable.
The OP asked a simple question, not to be preached. You don't know if they'll be watching the puppy from inside the restaurant.. |
