Driving Safely with Pets<\/p><\/div>\n

Man\u2019s best friend loves to go for a ride in the car, but an enthusiastic nudge from a nose or a big tail wag can interfere with your driving.<\/p>\n

To keep yourself and your pet safe on the road, follow these precautions from Christina Selter, original founder of Bark Buckle UP, a pet travel safety research organization.<\/p>\n

Take a test drive<\/strong>. Practice makes perfect, says Selter, and it\u2019s important to gradually acquaint Fido and Fluffy with the sounds and motions of the open road. Start at home by putting your pet in its crate or putting on a harness. Later, put your pet in the car and drive around the block. The next time, drive a bit further. \u201cPracticing makes your trip and your pet\u2019s trip much more comfortable,\u201d says Selter.<\/p>\n

Stay secure<\/strong>. Buckle pets up for their safety\u2014and your family\u2019s: An airborne 60-pound pet becomes a 2,700-pound projectile at 35 mph. \u201cCats do best in carriers and crates secured by seat belts,\u201d says Selter. Dogs can be restrained with a harness with a tether that works with the seat belt.<\/p>\n

Another reason to secure pets: In the event of an accident, a pet trying to protect its owner may bite first responders, delaying access to your vehicle. Or it may escape and cause a second accident. \u201cAnd all of these acts are your responsibility,\u201d says Selter.<\/p>\n

Keep a first-aid kit handy<\/strong>. A basic first-aid kit for humans can also be used for minor pet mishaps, says Selter. You can buy a pre-made first-aid kit or build one with these essential supplies<\/a>, recommended by the Mayo Clinic.<\/p>\n

Boost comfort<\/strong>. Bring things that make your pet feel comfortable in the car, such as a toy or blanket that smells like its bed at home. Plan to take regular breaks along the way. Also bring a water bowl and food depending on how long you\u2019ll be gone. \u201cKeep pets on the same feeding schedule and give them the same food they\u2019re used to,\u201d says Selter. \u201cIf you vary their schedule or their food, they could get sick.\u201d And remember; never leave your pet in a parked car where it might be is exposed to extreme heat or cold.<\/p>\n
