Tail Wagging Tuesday time! Wow that's a mouthful! I wanted to recap travel with your pet in this post. We had our first road trip with Gigi this weekend. Three hours in the car there and then three back. This was good practice for our big trip in December (13 hours from PA back to GA). We invested in a seat belt harness for her, which has been great at keeping her out of the passenger and driver's side and definitely makes it safer and easier to drive. She struggles for the first 20 minutes of the ride, but then eventually gives up and goes to sleep. We brought along some of her favorite toys too in case she got antsy.
As for seat belt harnesses actually keeping pets safe, there are debates about that. The Today Show did a segment and I found it here.
So what do you think, to buckle up Fido or not?
bodie almost hung himself when i got him a car leash thing on the drive to myrtle beach (for which i also sedated him). for me it was more of a pain to keep him untangled so he now roams free... and tries to spend most of it on my lap. but i don't think GiGi will work out so well on your lap in a few months!
