Travelling Pet Safety

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.

Affordable Pet Care

Even in the best of times, some pet owners aren ‘t able to give their pets, the care they need. But when people get sick, become disabled, loose their jobs and even their homes, the stress of providing for ones companions becomes a real problem.

I recently read a article on pet care for those who have the misfortune of income not being sufficient to properly maintain the cost of having a pet, there are ways and means of keeping your pet healthy.

This article referred to seniors who’s income has been cut and the first that might be affected are your best friend. It mentioned that talking to your vet where by he could suggest medications that help keep the animals up to date with treatments for such things as parvo that is generic thus reducing the cost.

Keeping pets healthy by purchasing generic meds for pets such as flea and tick remedies. This is half the cost of topline remedies.

Animals need regular check ups as for every 1 year their years is 7, if you only visit your vet every three years, that means 21 years in their lives

Keep those loved ones as healthy as you can and remember we only have them for short time.
