Safety Guidelines When Traveling With Your Pet dog

 


Should you wish to bring your pooch on a road trip, you will need to prepare thoroughly, and be mindful of the details.  The following are notable considerations, ensuring the safety of you and your pet when inside a vehicle:

●Having your pet in a carrier or a crate is the pinnacle of all safety precautions.  Regardless if this is a short trip, perhaps over to the vet, or the groomer, having your pet inside the crate means that he will not bother the driver or any other passenger in the vehicle.  Be sure that your pet’s crate has ample space for him to lie down, stand up, and turn around.  This is why crate training is essential to pets while still young.

●If a crate is unavailable, or perhaps you do not want to constrain your pet, keep him in the back seat, 
restrained with his harness, to a seat belt buckle.

●Some dogs are scared to ride in cars.  If your dog is one of them, take baby steps and have him experience short rides in the beginning.  Try to make each car ride a positive experience.
