Summer Dog Travel Safety
Although dogs love nothing more than the feeling of the wind on their face, letting your dog hang out the window is dangerous. Not only can debris and objects potentially hit your dog, but there have also been many cases of dogs falling out the window while going at high speed. To ensure your dog’s safety, only open the window a crack while they’re secured with a seatbelt. Your dog should never be allowed to roam around your car freely. This can be a dangerous distraction for the driver and a potential disaster if the window’s wide open. Upon arrival, be sure to never leave your pet unattended in the car as they heat up quickly!
