Taking your furry friend on a road trip? Keep them safe with these dos and don’ts.
DO:
✅ Secure your pet. Dogs should travel in a properly fitted harness and seat belt restraint. Cats should travel in a secure carrier.
✅ Keep the car at a comfortable temperature, with good airflow and access to water.
✅ Chat to your vet before a long trip if your pet gets carsick or anxious in the car.
✅ Take regular breaks – both you and your dog will appreciate the chance to go to the bathroom and stretch your legs!
DON’T:
❌ Let your pets travel loose, as they could be injured in an accident or distract the driver.
❌ Leave pets alone in parked cars, even for a short time.
Have a paw-sitively safe journey!
