I see it everyday and it breaks my heart.

When you are traveling with your pets, do NOT put them in your lap. Pets are an extension of your family and you love them like a family member (as they should be). Would you drive with your child in your lap? No, of course not.

Children have car seats, pets have car seats but if you do not want to use a pet car seat that is perfectly fine. But don't put your pet in your lap. Your pet should be in the back seat with the windows up or enough where they can not jump or fall out. Then there are traveling kennels (which I do not like).

For those that drive with their pet in their lap, have you realized what can happen if you have to suddenly stop or if you get hit? Your pet can fall to the floor if you slam on your brakes and if they do fall they may block your access to your vehicles peddles. And worse case, if you get hit or hit someone they can fall to the floor and get trapped from impact.

If your pet hangs out the window, have you thought what would happen if you turned sharp or was hit from the opposite side? Your pet can fly or fall out the window and no one wants to think of what could happen then. You can always leash your pet and hook the leash to the center seat belt and give them enough length so they can still get their nose and head out the window. You should never let your pet put more then 50% of their body out the window, gravity may become a factor with your driving.

Then those that travel with their pets in the back of the truck. The law says that they must be tethered in so they don't fall out. Don't agree with that. If you turn to quickly, get hit, flip your truck... your pet would be hung. Yes, not a pretty picture. Your pets, if you must have them in the back of your truck, travel with them in a very sturdy kennel.

Please, I see this every day and I have also seen what can happen to our precious pets.

Sincerely,
The Pet Nanny
