Here’s a photo of my own pup, Lily Shiloh, modelling her Sleepypod car harness. I chose this safety harness because it performed well in crash test studies.
Pets that are unrestrained in a moving car are at risk of serious injury to themselves and to you, in the event of a car accident. Keep pets secure in a crate or carrier attached to either seatbelts or bolts – always in the rear seats of your vehicle. Alternatively, invest in a specially made harness that attaches to a seatbelt.
Travel with emergency items including a pet first aid kit, medications your pet needs, food and water with collapsible dishes, and travel documents required for border crossing.
Confirm that your pet’s ID tags and microchips have the correct information should you become separated.
Travelling with pets is not always possible – if you need to leave your furry friends at home, contact me for your pet sitting needs!
