Big Apple Pet Supply Encourages Pet Owners to Travel Safely with Pets
Pet Supply Company Offers Tips on Safe Pet Travel Along with Top of Line Pet Travel Products
HAUPPAUGE, NY, January 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Pets are now considered important members of the family. Pet owners take their pets with them to run errands, drive them to doggie daycare and they even take them on vacation with them. You may smile when you see a dog in a car with his head out the window, ears flapping in the breeze. But did you know that according to AAA, over 30,000 accidents a year are caused by animals riding in the front seat of the car? Even scarier is that the Travel Association of America says that in the U.S., 29 million dog owners drive with their dogs, but only 20% use dog safety restraints.
Taking your pet for a car ride can be a fun and rewarding experience, but you need to take safety precautions. According to Steven Spitz, highly regarded pet expert and CEO of Big Apple Pet Supply, “The main way to protect your pet and yourself in a car is with a crate, travel harness, booster and car seats or pet barriers. Your pet cannot protect itself from injury while riding in a car; it is up to us as pet owners to protect them.”
Some other good tips to remember include:
Never let your dog hang out an open window, your dog may seem to love it, but it can be very dangerous. A closed window is always safer.
Never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle in hot or cold weather.
Make sure your pet has identification (micro-chip or info tags)
