Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, here are some tips to keep your pets safe while traveling:
– Restrain your pets in the backseat. A harness is good for dogs and crate for cats. This keeps the pet safely away from air bags and prevents it from becoming a missile in a crash.
– Make sure your pet wears an identification tag or a microchip.
– Update vaccinations and get a health certificate.
– Bring the pet’s food and any medication.
– Give small portions of food and water to pets while driving and stop every two hours so your pet can exercise.
– Don’t let your pet ride with its head out the window. Besides the risks in an accident, the wind can cause eye and ear problems.
– Never leave your pet in a hot vehicle.
