Keep Your Pet Safe On The Road

Dr. Debbye Turner Offers Tips, Points To Products

(CBS) 

There are many safety products on the market meant to protect your pet while she's in the car. It's very important to have your pet restrained while you're driving. If you have to suddenly hit the brakes, or have an accident, you don't want your pet to go flying through the windshield as a result of his not having been properly strapped in. Cats and dogs should always be in their carrier. Medium and larger dogs should either be in a carrier or harnessed in with a pet seatbelt.
