For many people, pets are an integral part of the family and are included in holiday planning or weekend outings. However, before you rush out to the Jeep together, make sure that you are prepared with these safety tips for pets.
Make Your Pets Road Ready
It’s wise to prepare your dogs for a road trip by first taking them on several shorter drives to acclimatize them for the long journey. This will help avoid unnecessary stress or anxiety for both the pets and the family. There are plenty of pet-friendly activities around Ocean Township that can serve as smaller trial runs for getting them used to being in the car.
Pet Identification
Before going anywhere with your pets, make sure that they are tagged or microchipped with updated identification details. If they are somehow separated from you, then they can be returned safely. Place a temporary travel tag on their collars with your phone number and your destination details.
Pet Safety Restraints
Some states have laws regarding pet travel, so do your homework. Either use a travel crate for your pets that are strapped and cannot move around in the vehicle or use a pet restraint to keep them safe. There are many types available to keep both your pets and yourself safe while driving.
Stop regularly on your journey with food, water, leashes, and any other accessories that you may need. Never leave your furry friends in the car unattended, especially in the heat and in cold conditions.
Being a pet owner is a responsibility. You need to ensure that your pets are safe in your Jeep Wrangler and don’t cause a distraction to the driver.
