• Always in the back seat;


• Always buckled up!


• No arms & items allowed out the window!

Why would your pet's safety be a different consideration? Not only your pet's safety, your safety as well... Your pet could be a flying hazard if you have a collision!

Have you ever thought about the damage alone the air bag could do to your beloved pet?

The Dog Bowl has some tips and suggestions for traveling in the car with your pet:

• Always put your pet in a carrier if possible. This will keep your pet from flying out of the car or into someone or something if you get in an accident.


• Always buckle in the carrier with the safety belt. Most carriers have straps that can easily be looped through a seat belt.


• Always place the carrier in the back seat. Never the front - the passenger seat is the most dangerous place for any traveler.


• If your pet is too large for a carrier we suggest something that would keep your pet in the back seat. Such as this car seat cover - we call this "the dog taco" because it catches all the hair and mess your dog can leave, in addition it keeps your pet out of the foot well.


• NEVER let your pet hang out of the window while driving. Your pet might love it, but it is not the safest way to travel, and we know you want to keep your pet safe! And let's face it safety is a priority to being happy and healthy.


• Add a first aid kit to your car! This is such a simple thing, but extremely valuable when needed in an emergency.

When traveling, even if to go a short distance, we are sure you agree your pet is worth keeping safe!
