Summer adventures are here, and many families love bringing their dogs along for the ride! Whether you’re headed to the park, the lake, or a weekend getaway, keeping your pup safe and comfortable during travel is important.
🐾 Car Safety First
The safest place for your dog to ride is in a secured crate in the backseat, anchored with a seatbelt. This helps prevent distractions while driving and protects your pup from injury in the event of sudden stops or accidents. It also keeps them safely away from airbags, which can be dangerous for pets. Riding in the back of a truck is never recommended.
If using a crate isn’t realistic for your trip, use a dog seatbelt or harness attachment to secure your puppy safely to the seat. Avoid letting your dog roam freely in the vehicle or ride in your lap while driving.
🐾 Heads Out the Window? Think Twice
While dogs may enjoy sticking their heads out the window, airborne debris can cause eye or facial injuries, and some dogs have even jumped from moving vehicles. Keep windows only partially open if your dog is unsecured.
🐾 Plan for Rest Stops
On longer drives, schedule breaks for water, potty time, and a short walk. Bring a portable water bowl and avoid sharing bowls with unfamiliar dogs to help prevent illness.
A simple travel clean-up kit can also be a lifesaver! Consider packing:
• Doggy bags
• Hand sanitizer
• Paper towels
• Disinfecting wipes
• Extra towels or blankets
🐾 Never Leave Your Dog in the Car
Even on a mild summer day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise dangerously fast. In 80-degree weather, a car can exceed 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes — even with the windows cracked. Leaving a dog in a hot car can quickly become life-threatening.
Help spread awareness by reminding friends and family about the dangers of hot cars during the summer months.
Safe travels and happy adventures with your pup! 🐶☀️
Happy Training,
Amy & Team
