🚗🐾 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘆 – 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 🐾🚗
We've all seen them on our travels - the dog loose on the back seat with it's head out an open car window or the small dog standing on the dashboard.
An 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗴 isn’t just at risk – they can become a 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 in an accident, injuring themselves, passengers, or other road users.⚠️
If you are involved in an accident, your car insurance claim might be rejected if your pet wasn't properly restrained.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 that pets are secured while travelling to prevent distraction and injury.
✅ 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁:
𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 – A dog crate suitable for the make and model of vehicle, securely fitted in the boot, makes an ideal, permanent, safe space for your dog while travelling
𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱 – Separates the boot area from passengers while travelling. Ideal for larger dogs, but be aware of your dog jumping out quickly when the boot is opened!
𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 – A fitted harness that attaches to the seatbelt system to keep your dog safely in place.
𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 - a sturdy pet carrier of suitable size can help keep your pet safely restrained but it must be then secured within the vehicle for example via the seatbelt system. Ideal for smaller pets
Wishing you and your pets safe travels ! 🚗🚐💜
