Is your dog a constant traveling companion? The world has opened up to canines-as-companions in so many ways, and we notice dogs in cars, at cafes, trains, and planes. While this warms our hearts, it is also alarming when we see well-meaning humans putting their dogs at risk.


For example, your dog may love having a seat to himself, but if he isn’t secured, he is as at risk for injury or death as the seat belted humans. If your canine companion loves to sit in your lap, their risk is further elevated. Even minor fender-benders or sudden stops risk serious compression injuries (or worse) when their body is smashed between your body and the steering column. Then there are the safety considerations when traveling by plane or train.
