Millions of passengers rely on seatbelts to save lives each and every day. Family pets should receive the same care.
For most travelers, clicking the seatbelt into place is the first action completed before the keys are even placed into the ignition. Rover in the backseat should be strapped in as well; not only for his safety, but for the safety of those traveling in passing automobiles One Click Can Limit LossAny object, human or animal that is unrestrained during a crash could ultimately be thrown from the vehicle. With an injured pet, owners face outrageous vet bills. Take time to ensure that each and every passenger is safe. Accidents happen. The weather drivers face everyday cannot be controlled, but restraining an energetic terrier that desires nothing more than to sit up front during a cruise on a busy interstate will lessen the likelihood of a collision and minimize injuries. Animals can be a distraction and it is important for pet owners to take responsibility for their actions. It can be as simple as strapping a leash into a seatbelt. There are many ways to choke up on its slack in order to keep an animal restrained to one side of the backseat, away from the middle armrest or front passenger seat. This allows drivers to concentrate on the task at hand, which is driving. It is just as easy as that. Parading Pooches Might Need More HelpLarge dogs or those that try to roam might need more than a homemade harness. Found in pet stores and puppy boutiques are a variety of travel products designed with four-legged friends in mind. From seat covers and safety harnesses to booster seats and cargo barriers, there are products that will work for all pets, no matter the make or model of the vehicle. One company ahead of the animal-safety pack is Solvit Products. This company knows the inner working of its target audience members, which are dogs. Canines have different personalities, likes and dislikes. Some small breeds are comfortable in a harness, alone in a backseat, where others demand (oh yes, they demand) to be kept in booster seat strapped to the front passenger seat. No matter the size of the dog, there is a harness to fit. Also, since traveling often creates uncertainty in dogs, the harness will prevent dogs from running away. On long journeys, the rear of an SUV is a quiet place for naptime. To keep pets from jumping over to the backseat in the middle of a long drive, a cargo barrier is the perfect piece of protection. Solvit offers only net cargo barriers. For large, energetic breeds, a metal barrier would be more beneficial. For more information about Solvit Products visit www.solvitproducts.com. Take these simple steps to secure the safety of pets, and the happiness of family members today.
