Staying safe in the car
Car safety is also important for our four legged passengers. Here’s some tips to keep everyone safe while traveling:
A crate can help keep your dog safe in case of an accident or sudden stop. Make sure it’s large enough for your dog to stand and turn around in.
A seat belt harness can be a great alternative to a crate or carrier. It allows your dog to move around more freely but still keeps them securely in place.
Avoid the front seat. It's safer for your dog to ride in the backseat and away from airbags.
Dogs love to stick their heads out of car windows but be careful. Flying debris or an unexpected turn can lead to injury.
Temperatures inside a car can rise quickly and become dangerous for your dog. Never leave them in a parked car, even for a few minutes.
