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!
