Take care when traveling with your pet this Thanksgiving
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of us will be taking to the road to meet up with family and friends for the holiday. Some of us will be bringing along our pets. According to the American Pet Products Association, the number of pets traveling in vehicles in the United States was up 300 percent from 2005 to 2007.
“Bark Buckle Up” is the leader in pet travel safety. “Bark Buckle Up” works closely with first responders and Animal Care and Control to help mitigate some of these problems.
- A 60-pound pet in a 35 mph accident becomes a 2,700-pound projectile.
- Pets in vehicle accidents delay access to human occupants.
- They become injured or aggressive and may bite.
- They may escape through an open window or door and cause a second accident.
For information about traveling safely with your pet, contact Phoenix Fire Division Chief Mark Faulkner at (602) 256-3535.
