Safe on the road with your dog
It's a familiar sight: one dog jumps up wagging his tail as soon as the keys ring, while the other dog hides as soon as the door opens. Transporting your faithful four-legged friend can range from a relaxing outing to an exciting challenge. But don't worry, in this blog you will discover different ways to make transport for you and your dog as comfortable and safe as possible.
Whether you drive to work with your dog every day, go on a bike adventure together, or plan a trip to the vet, proper preparation is essential. It's advisable to gently get your dog used to different methods of transport from puppyhood onwards. That way, you can make car rides, bike rides and other outings stress-free and safe for both of you.
Safe on the road
Transporting your dog in the car is often the most logical choice. Safety first comes first here. Discover below some convenient ways to make car rides with your dog enjoyable and safe.
Just be aware, a dog should always be secured in a car to avoid disturbing the driver during sudden stops. Whether the dog is in the front seat, back seat or boot, he should be securely fastened with a harness and car safety belt or car safety rack. This ensures the safety of both the dog and the occupants.
Important! Ensure your dog is secured with a harness at all times and avoid using a collar. This is crucial for safety if an accident occurs (a collar may cause a serious injury, such as a broken neck).
