Hey Auburndale! As we’re in the thick of summer vacation season, we know many of you are hitting the road with your furry friends. Let’s make sure everyone – humans and pets alike – stays safe on those Florida road trips!
First things first: Never, ever leave your pet in a hot car. Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can skyrocket in minutes. It’s not worth the risk!
Keep your pets in the back seat. We know Fido might love riding shotgun, but the front seat can be dangerous for pets if airbags deploy.
Consider investing in some pet-friendly car safety gear. Harnesses, carriers, or even special car seats can keep your furry pals secure during the ride.
Resist the urge to let your pet roam free in the car. We know those puppy dog eyes are hard to resist, but unrestrained pets can be a major distraction.
Remember, a safe pet is a happy pet. For more tips on traveling with your four-legged family members, check out www.aspca.org – travel safety tips and www.flhsmv.gov – traveling with your pet.
Stay cool and travel safe, Auburndale!.
