When you adopt pets, they are considered as part of your family. As the other family members, your animal companion needs to be comfortable during car rides. Honoring the Love Your Pet Day, we\u2019ll share with you ways you can drive around with Si Tompok or Fido safely and trouble-free:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use Pet Carrier to prevent accidental injuries<\/span><\/h2>\n

The best way to avoid injuries to your furry friends is by keeping them in a well ventilated crate or carrier. This way, they won\u2019t go <\/span>terpelanting<\/span><\/i> if you meet an accident. Don\u2019t let animals roam freely in your car. Cats can crawl under your feet or brake pedal, which can cause all of you to <\/span>terpelanting<\/span><\/i>. Also, dogs can become too excited jumping from one window to the next and limiting your views. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Secure the pet carrier down<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although your pet is safely tucked inside its carrier, a car crash can throw the carrier out of the window. So, it is best for you to strap your pet carrier properly. Some carriers are designed with seat belt guides, but if you don\u2019t have that fancy one you can make the carrier stay in place using bungee rope strapped onto your seat. Can do anything if you\u2019re creative, no?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Keep your pet in the back seat<\/span><\/h2>\n

In an event where you own a really large dog or your cat got out the carrier, try your best to keep them in the back seat. You might think your dog is big enough for the seat belt to fit over it, but seat belts are designed for adult humans. Your pet may slip under the belt or worse, being smacked when your airbags are deployed. And even though you think your cat is small enough to fit on your lap, the airbag\/steering wheel can still smush them. A smushed cat is so <\/span>kesian<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Prepare pet\u2019s travelling kit<\/span><\/h2>\n
