Traveling By Car With Your Pet
The most important thing to remember when traveling with your dog, cat or other pet is "safety first"

Its vacation time and many of us love to share our vacations with our feline and canine companions.  The most important thing to remember when traveling with your pet by car is “safety first.” 

Cats should always travel safely inside a cat carrier.  Most cats feel safer in an enclosed carrier than wandering around inside the car. 

Dogs should also be confined to a crate/kennel or seat belted (with an appropriate doggy seatbelt) in place. 

Dogs and cats not properly confined can end up in our laps impeding our ability to see and steer; at our feet affecting the brake/accelerator pedals; or if an accident occurs they could literally be launched through a windshield.  Keep them safe, keep them confined.
