A lot of vehicular accident-related pet injuries (and sometimes including death) are totally avoidable if pet owners will be prudent in following common safety measures. The following are our top four tips to keep you and your dog safe so you can enjoy your road trips.
Aside from using a collar and ID tag, consider putting a microchip implant in your pet. Don't forget to add the latest contact details to the database of your preferred microchip implant company.
Your dog must be secured with a crate or pet harness. Remember to use the car's child safety lock to prevent your pet from accidentally opening the door.
Keep the windows closed if possible and never ever let your pet hang its head outside the car window. Your dog can get injured from stationary and moving objects along the car's path. Worse, he could jump off from the car.
Ensure your pet has the latest vaccine shots (visit your vet London, ON if you’re not sure).
