Any dog owner will sooner or later face the need to go on a trip with their four-legged friend.
It may be necessary to take your pet to a veterinary clinic.
Or maybe we'll talk about moving to another apartment. Of course, you'll have to take your pet with you.
Unfortunately, many people do not know the rules for transporting a dog in a car. As a result, very dangerous consequences make themselves known.
So, what mistakes should you avoid when transporting a barking four-legged friend in a vehicle?
No dog fixation
If you start transporting an “unsecured” pet, a tragedy may occur.
What if there is an accident?! In this case, the animal will turn into a "bullet" flying at high speed with considerable impact force.
This is mortally dangerous both for the dog itself and for the people in the vehicle.
So don't forget to use a box or mesh cage.
Ignoring the pet's condition
During a long trip, some owners forget to feed, water, and walk their dog on time, as well as give it the opportunity to rest.
Be aware: if you have a dog in your car, you will have to make stops periodically. You will have to stop once every 2 hours.
And during hot weather, you need to remember the following: you should never leave your dog in a parked car!
