So you have to go to the store to pick up a few things, and guess who wants to go along? That's right, your dog.

What do dogs do? They have fun in the car. But that fun could turn into an accident. While you might be buckled up, your dog may not be. You just might think he will lay down and be a good doggie. Well, if you have three dogs like we do,they do not want to just stand still. They are probably all over the car, or at least have their nose in the wind as you go to get the bread.

That is not a good idea. Dogs could fall out. They could jump out or soil your nice new car. The safest way to ride with your pet in the car is to get a pet seat belt or some kind of restraint. As more and more dogs want to ride in the car, you may need some help. You can buy a restraint for your dogs. And never let a dog just go on a ride while you hold the dog near you. Air bags are a big issue with this. If you were in a collision the force of the air bag could kill the dog. And never let the dog ride in the back of the truck,that is so dangerous.

For more information, go to your local pet store. They will have answers to your questions.
