Car Travel with Pets

Secure pets in a carrier or harness, never leave them in a hot car, and schedule cool-hour stops.

Definition

Car Travel with Pets: Car travel with pets means transporting animals in vehicles with restraint, ventilation, hydration, and heat safeguards.

Non-negotiables

Unrestrained pets become projectiles in sudden stops.

  • Never leave pets in parked cars in heat
  • Use a carrier or crash-aware harness
  • Keep windows safe — no full-body hanging out
