Does your state require car harnesses for your dog?
The good folks at Orvis have put together a handy infographic, spelling out the current laws in each state concerning how you can transport your dog. Some states like New Jersey and Rhode Island require a harness or crate, while others do not. In some states, there are laws proposed, while others have had their proposals fail in the legislature. Finally, some states have other laws such as those governing distracted driving, that can be used to cite you if you have your dog loose in the car. Do you know what your state requires?
The graphic is too interactive to post it easily here, but you can check it out over on the Orvis site.
Happy Friday eve!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

On my soapbox again about dogs left in hot cars
It’s a little early in the year for this, but unfortunately, it has happened again: someone left a dog in the car, and the poor animal died from the heat. Really? This still happens? Even after all of the publicity that results each time this happens?

Keep Your Dog Safe in the Car
Planning a trip with your dog this summer? It’s time for my annual nag about dog seat belts. Studies say only 16% of people use pet harnesses even though 83% of people say it’s dangerous to have an unrestrained dog in the car.

Traveling Safely With Your Dog
I introduced myself this week to The Dogington Post, an online newspaper (made to look like The Huffington Post) chock-full of dog news. I thought their info-graphic on safely traveling with your dog was worth sharing. (Click on the picture to see it larger or go to the source.) I know I’m guilty of not always restraining my dogs in the car – how about you?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
