๐ Holidays With Pets - Car Safety Tips ๐
With many of us returning from holidays after Christmas, it's a good time to share our tips for keeping your dog safe when travelling in the car. ๐
1. Ensure that your dog is safely secured with a harness or in a crate, with plenty of room to stand and move around. Loose pets can jump unexpectedly from windows, or if you have to brake suddenly they can suffer serious injuries. ๐
2. Engage the child safety locks in your car. Instances have occurred where a pet has opened the car door during transit and fallen out. ๐
3. NEVER leave a dog in a car. It only takes 6 minutes for a dog to die in a hot car, even with the windows cracked. ๐ฅต
4. Avoid feeding your dog before the trip to avoid car sickness. ๐คข
Happy Travels!
