Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, you may find yourself needing to bring along your furry friends. Car travel is widely considered to be the safest option. At MINI of Burlington, we have some tips on how both you and your pet can enjoy your journey.
If you have a dog, it is important to resist the urge to let them ride in the front seat. If the airbag were to deploy, this could cause serious injury to them, even if they are secured inside a crate. Anchoring a crate in the backseat is the best option to keep everyone safe. Although your dog may seem unhappy, letting him or her roam can be dangerous.
Cats should also be secured in a crate. A loose cat may make its way underneath your feet, which can be incredibly dangerous. It is also important to avoid leaving your pet alone in the car, which is why we advise bringing along a human friend if you are leaving Shelburne, VT with a pet.
