6 Tips for Pet Travel Safety

Many pets, like me, enjoy a road trip adventure and many of us are lucky to have pet parents who care about our safety as much as their own while traveling.  For those pet parents who still may not realize the importance of pet travel safety, there is National Pet Travel Safety Day.

Oz the Terrier 6 Tips for Pet Travel Safety for National Pet Travel Safety Day

National Pet Travel Safety Day is recognized every year on January 2 (today).  The goals of this day are to highlight the dangers of unsecured pets in vehicles and educate pet parents about how to make travel safer for them and their pets.  To help spread the word about pet travel safety, I created the infographic below.  Please feel free to share it on your blog or social media so that we can educate everyone about keeping their pets safe during car travel.

  2. Too many of our trips are to the v-e-t or the fur thief. You forgot to say that there should be a more than sufficient supply of bird seed in the vehicle.

  5. We don't get the chance to travel too much with our pets at the moment, but when we do go in the car or truck, the dogs love it!! It's great that they have a National Pet Travel Safety Day.

  7. These are some great tips. Bentley and Pierre ride in their kennel in the back of our SUV. Bentley is not one to leisurely ride in the back seat. He will choke himself trying to climb over to the front! You might need to have a talk with him on proper etiquette, Oz.

  8. Now that we have four dogs, the only traveling I do is locally (to the vet, to the park, to a play date). When I recently bought a car, I had the dogs in mind and explained my needs to our salesman and he was fantastic at helping me select the right car.

    Despite the fact that I don't do a lot of traveling, your tips apply to me as well; especially keeping the dogs in the back.

  13. There is a new, local ad here for one of the car dealerships. The family who just bought a new car is shown carefully buckling a baby into her carseat, then the two adults get into the front. As they pull away, they show a little dog ON THE DRIVER'S LAP!!!!!! Oh, it makes our mom's head explode!!!

  15. It drives me crazy to see people driving with their animals in their laps. One short stop and it is possible to lose your pet. I ask people if they would like to wear their pets if the airbag imploded?
