Driving With Pets
Loose pets can be a hazard while you are driving. An unrestrained
pet can interfere with your ability to drive the car. In a crash or
sudden stop, loose pets or cages can be thrown around inside the
car and hurt you or your passengers. It is also for their safety that
pets should be properly restrained in your car.
The recommended way to restrain a medium-sized or larger dog is
with a special traveling harness. This harness can be secured to the
rear seat with a seat belt. Travel harnesses are available at pet
stores.
A small dog, cat, or other small animal will be safest in
a
pet carrier
with rigid sides. Choose a style that allows you to secure it to the
car's seat by routing a seat belt through the carrier's handle.
For further information, contact your veterinarian or local animal
protection society.
