Buckle Up!

You buckle up for safety when you're in the car, shouldn't your pet? Unrestrained pets in a car are a distraction to the driver, and can put driver and pet at risk for serious injur.. To keep pets safe in transit:

• Never allow pets to travel in the front seat, where they're at risk of severe injury or death if the airbag deploys.
• Don't let dogs ride with their head out the window or untethered in the back of a truck bed. Both practices put them at risk of being thrown from the vehicle in the event of an accident.
• To keep pets safe, confine cats to carriers then secure the carrier with a seatbelt. For dogs, there's the option of a special harness attached to a seat belt, or a well-secured kennel.
