Do you travel with your pet riding unsafely?
Whether it be i n your car, truck, pr boat, one should take special care of those loved pets, as they are just as vulnerable as our children. One never knows when a sudden change of direction will be the cause of your pet flying to the floor of your vehicle or worse yet airborne and coming to rest against the windshield of your vehicle, causing a very traumatic event. This can cause serious injury and sometimes the worst even death of your pet.
Wearing your seat belt costs you nothing, but not wearing one costs a fortune. This goes for our pets as well. The solution is to have your pet safe, with a roper restraint the same as what you would put your children in. All that it would take is to have a well fitting harness on your pet, attached to the seat belt of your vehicle, or have your pets in a carrier secured by a seat belt. Remember seat belts saves lives.
Driver safety: In a accident, a unrestrained pet such as a 60 pound dog, becomes a projectile of 2700 pounds at just 35 mph. Pets can hinder the movements of first responders.
Never leave your pets in a car, no matter what the weather conditions are. The weather will not deter a thief. Pets can suffer just like humans, from heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Please remember they need to have consideration for their presents, and have them secure in your vehicle.
