- When you know your dog is safe, you can focus your attention on your driving. Proper restraint will protect him from injury in the event of an accident.
- Traveling can be a stressful experience for your dog. If you provide her with a comfortable, secure place in the car, she will feel more at home.
- There are many types of car beds available, including backseat barriers with padded seat covers, booster seats, carriers, hammocks and crates. You can select what best suits you and your dog.
- You can expect to pay between $60 and $200 or more for a car bed for your dog, depending on what type you purchase and the size of your dog.
- The Humane Society of the United States recommends that you keep your dog in a travel harness or carrier secured with a seatbelt. Never allow him to sit on your lap while you are driving. It is additionally recommended that he be kept in the back seat of the car to prevent injury in the event that the passenger side airbag deploys. Never allow him to hang his head out the window or ride in the back of an open pickup truck.
