Traveling with Pets: What You Need to Know

Traveling with your pet can be a challenging experience. With a little planning and implementation, you can make this experience fun and rewarding for both you and your animal. The pet and vehicle experts at Bob Utter Kia want to help you to make this travel as convenient as possible.

The most important rule to remember is to never leave pets unattended in the vehicle. Cars can heat up extremely quickly, putting your animal in a potentially dangerous situation. Do not allow pets to stick their head out of the windows while the vehicle is in motion. Not only can the animal be injured by errant objects, but the incoming wind can irritate mucous membranes.

It is also important to crate or restrain your pet while driving. Fortunately, there are a variety of products on the market designed to keep pets safely secured. This is for your safety as well as theirs.
