Driving in Cars With Dogs
Some dogs love ‘em, and some don’t, but one thing’s for sure–when it comes to car rides, safety precautions are in order for sake of you and your pooch.
There are two major hazards in your car:
Automatic Car Windows
Whether he’s trying to look out the window or just jumping for joy, Fido could very well step on the automatic window control and possibly fall out the window, or roll it up and get caught or choke.
One way to prevent this is by locking the main power lock on the console. Even better, use a doggy seat belt or dog crate for car rides.
Airbags
There are warnings that air bags can kill children, but did you know they are equally fatal for canines? Just like children, dogs should ride in the back seat of a car, preferably in a crate or attached to a doggy seat belt.
Keeping your dog confined will also eliminate your dog from becoming a projectile object in the event you’re involved in an accident.
Now that you’re aware of the hidden hazards of car ride with canines, there’s no reason not to enjoy your next adventure with your pooch.
So hit the road and be safe. Happy travels!
