Ironically - one of the things we discussed in Puppy PreSchool tonight!!! Please please please secure your dog and make sure it’s not just by securing a collar (whiplash) and it’s not a cheap plastic clipped harness!
🚗 Is your dog legally restrained for the Easter drive tomorrow? 🐾🛣️☀️ Before you hit the highway, a quick reality check: Depending on which State you’re driving through, an unrestrained pet could cost you a lot more than just a vet bill!
Did you know that in some parts of Australia, an unsecured dog can result in fines of over $5,000—and even jail time? 😱
Beyond the legal risk, the stats are sobering. Each year:
📉 5,000 dogs are injured or killed jumping from moving cars.
📉 500 dogs suffer serious harm or death falling from ute trays.
Whether it's a 20-minute trip to the beach or a 5-hour trek to the coast, a crash-tested harness or a secured crate isn't just a "nice to have"—it’s a life-saver for everyone in the car.
Do you know the rules for the State you’re heading to? 📍 We’ve broken down the State-by-State laws, the specific fine & the best ways to keep your co-pilot safe in the first comment below! 👇🔗
