When traveling, a paramount concern is keeping our pets, Fido, Kity, or Polly, safe.\u00a0 This is especially true in the RV.<\/p>\n

I have said, as a joke, that Fred is more likely to hit the road for another camping adventure\u00a0 without me than to leave his dogs behind.\u00a0 And he wouldn’t start our RV without first putting them in their travel harness.\u00a0 They need to be safe, too.\u00a0 Would you ride in a vehicle without using a seat belt?\u00a0 So, why would you NOT restraint your pet?<\/p>\n

An unrestrained pet can be seriously injured in the event of even a minor accident.<\/p>\n

A 60-pound unrestrained dog becomes a 2,700 pound projectile at just 35 mph!<\/p>\n

An unrestrained pet can also cause a driving distraction that poses a danger to driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road, as well as to bystanders.<\/p>\n

When involved in an accident, a loose pet can escape the vehicle in the confusion, becoming lost or injured in the aftermath.<\/p>\n

These are all good reason to keep your pet in a harness when traveling<\/a>. It\u2019s for their safety and yours.<\/p>\n
