Dog Car Accidents: Dog travel statistics

The following data is based on a survey that touched on the dangers of having dogs off-leash in a car. “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 20 percent of injury crashes in 2009 involved reports of distracted driving.”

A reminder that even losing concentration while driving for a few seconds can be dangerous.

• “Ninteen-percent of people said they used hands/arms to keep dog from climbing from the backseat to the front seat.”
• “An unrestrained 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert roughly 500 pounds of force, while an unrestrained 80-pound dog in a crash at only 30 mph will exert approximately 2400 pounds of force.”
• “Use of a pet restraint is three times greater among people who have heard of situations where unrestrained dogs were injured or caused injury to other passengers in a car crash (32%), compared to respondents who are not aware of such a situation (9%).”

Bringing your dog with you

Whether you’re traveling with your pet on vacation or taking a trip around town, transportation is important. Some things to consider before you travel:

• How will your dog sit?
• Are their car services that accept dogs?
• Will you have to share a car with other people?
• Can other people bring their dogs in the car too?
• Do you need the show proof of vaccination?

How will your dog sit?

It’s important for you, your dog, and the driver that your dog is safe and can’t move around. If your dog is small enough, and doesn’t mind, consider using a dog carrier while they are in a car. If you want ultimate safety consider using a car seat or harness for your dog. No matter what, make sure your dog is on leash so you can keep them near you.

Will you have to share a car with other people?

This is important to know. Some people, I know it’s hard to believe, don’t like dogs. They might not want to share a car with you and your faithful friend.

Can other people bring their dogs in the car too?

There are simply too many risk factors to ride with a strangers dog for shor a short ride.

Do you need the show proof of vaccination?

It never hurts to have a screenshot on your phone of your dog’s records. Of course, someone could always call your vet too if they had a concern.
