January 2 marks National Pet Travel Safety Day, a time to make a resolution to keep your dog or cat safe every time you get in the car. Whether pet travel means a dog-friendly vacation, day trip, visit to a dog park, trip to the veterinarian, or a ride home from the shelter, it’s important to make each and every trip a safe one!
The best way you can keep your four-legged friend safe on your next road trip is to use a pet crate or harness. Surprisingly, only 16% of Americans use dog restraints in their cars. With no restraint in place, your dog is free to roam around the car and distract you from driving. They're also in danger of injury if you brake hard or get into an accident.
Crates are often considered the best way to transport animals, as they keep your pet feel safe and stop them from being a distraction. If you plan on using a crate, ensure you secure it with a seatbelt so it doesn't shift during transit. Airlines always require pets to be in a USDA-approved crate when flying.
