Car ride mistakes that can hurt your pet (and how to avoid them) — via drivingdotca

“Dogs left in the backs of trucks can jump out and be seriously injured” adds Norton. “We’ve also seen dogs strangled after being ejected from truck beds while wearing a leash”.Article contentAccording to Verrilli, people still aren’t getting the message about leaving dogs in hot cars.“They don’t sweat like we do, and because of that, it doesn’t take long for a car interior to become unbearably hot to a dog, even if the outside temperature isn’t sweltering”.
As Ghost gets older, I’m always conscious of the height required to jump into the back of a vehicle, like a crossover or SUV. Wagons and vans are typically easier, as they often sit lower to the ground. Some utility models sit higher from the road, meaning a bigger jump in and out.Article content According to Verrilli, there’s no hard, fast rule on how high is ‘too high’ to jump in and out, though she says boarding and exiting a car can be daunting to various dogs for many reasons.Senior pets with arthritis and small breed dogs may injure themselves if they stumble or fall. Sprains, strains, broken bones or injured backs and necks are all possibilities.
