How to Keep Your Dog Safe in the Car

Many people want to take their dogs along with them no matter where they go, and sometimes that requires a ride in the car. As a pet parent, you want to make sure your furry friend is safe and comfortable at all times. Check out these helpful tips to make your next trip a smooth, safe ride for both you and your dog.

Hitting the open road with your furry friend, whether it’s a quick trip or a long haul, should be an enjoyable experience. And just as with any fun activity, it’s a good idea to have a few dog car safety measures in place. Even if you’re just driving across town to get to the dog park, there are safety rules, tips and tricks that should always be in place to protect your pup and make the experience fun for both of you.

Prevent Motion Sickness

Unlike us, most dogs didn’t grow up in the backseat of a car. As a result, many dogs don’t cope well inside a moving vehicle at first, even if they’re not naturally prone to motion sickness. To combat nausea and motion sickness, particularly before long trips, do not feed your dog within six hours of departure. Also, make sure the meal is a light meal so that they won’t have much food in their stomach.

Depending on the severity of the issue, you can also talk to your veterinarian about medication to help your dog avoid car sickness. It’s important to always check with your vet before administering any type of medication to your dog. Human medication can have a severe, negative effect on your pup’s system.

Secure Your Dog for Car Safety

No matter how cute it seems when you drive past cars with dogs sticking their head out of the window, ears flapping in the wind, it’s actually incredibly dangerous for dogs to be unrestrained in the car. As a good rule of thumb, if you’re wearing a seatbelt, your dog should be, too.

When driving, secure your dog in the car with a traveling harness or keep them in a kennel. This way, your pup won’t distract the driver, and you can feel good knowing they will be safe in case of an accident. As den animals, dogs often feel safer in their kennel and will be less anxious during the ride if they’re contained.

In addition to keeping your dog in a harness or crate, make sure to do your research to find the best possible options for keeping your pup safe. Just like you wouldn’t purchase a car without airbags and other safety essentials, some crates and harnesses are more rigorously tested to protect your dog. Look for crash-tested restraints and kennels that are well-reviewed by purchasers.

NOTE: Your dog should never ride in the back of a pickup truck, particularly if they are unrestrained. If left untethered, your pup could jump from the truck or be thrown, leading to serious injury or death. If you must travel with your dog in the bed of a truck, keep them in their kennel and secure the kennel to the truck.

Dogs Are Like Kids

All arguments about “dog parents” aside, when your dog is in the car, they need as much attention and preparation as a child. For example, you will rarely, if ever, see a parent out and about with their kid without some sort of diaper bag or emergency kit in tow. Children are prone to making messes, hurting themselves and just getting bored. The same is true for your pup, especially the younger they are.

Put together a travel bag for your dog that you can bring along wherever you go. Prep it with basic necessities like an extra leash, tags, poop bags, treats and water. For longer trips that take you and your dog farther from home, it helps to keep veterinary documents with you in case of an emergency.

Keep your doggie travel bag by the front door or in the car so you can grab it whenever you’re heading out together. Even if you’re just heading over to a friend’s house, taking along some essentials will keep you prepared for any situation.

Beyond an emergency, consider all the things in the car that your dog could accidentally do to distract you while driving. If you have child locks that you can turn on in your car, do so to prevent your pup from accidentally opening a car door. Turn off your power windows, as well, since some dogs have been known to jump out of car windows when excited.

NOTE: If you drive a convertible, it is especially important to keep your dog restrained as they have many opportunities to jump out of the car and risk injury.

Don’t Leave Them Alone

NEVER leave your dog alone in the car on a hot day. Even if a day doesn’t seem too hot, in a confined place full of windows like your car, temperatures can quickly skyrocket, reaching over 100 degrees in around 10 minutes. Your dog could easily suffer heatstroke or worse if left trapped in these conditions.

DogSafe™ Electric Underground Dog Fence- 50% Off on Sale

Like many pet lovers out there, you want to keep your dog safe. After all it's like keeping your best friend safe! So when it comes to safety, it is worth investing in something that will keep your dog from running away. It's definitely worth considering an underground electric dog fence.

You've likely heard of this concept before. It's not very complicated. A transmitter goes in the house, and a wire is buried around your yard. The wire then emits a radio frequency. It is that radio frequency that triggers a correction when your furry friend gets too close to the dangers of leaving your yard. A fence such as this is ideal if you require a certain amount of flexibility when it in your boundary setting. Unlike a wireless dog fence which can only create a circular radius for your pet, an underground electric dog fence can be placed virtually anywhere you'd like your dog to go. DogSafe Dog fences can even be run through streams and into lakes!

Deciding where you'd like the dogs boundaries to be is the first job. Once you've had that your professional installer will figure out the best location for the wire. The wire for your underground dog fence will always be placed a few feet away from where you would like the boundaries, to allow for the radio frequency. Getting these boundaries right are important so that since you would have to dig the wire up to change it later!

Wuffstop Ultrasonic Dog Bark Control can be stop dog barking instantly and it will help to make safe your dogs also.

Once you've determined the boundaries, and allowed space for the radio frequency, it's time to look at obstacles. It's important to plan well for difficult to cross areas. Although an asphalt driveway can be crossed at any location, frequently concrete driveways are crossed at existing expansion joints. Those expansion joints are a great place to hide the wire without having to worry about cutting another line in the concrete. The wire does need to make a complete loop so that's way it's important to establish a clear path around your entire property.

The purpose for burying the wire is two fold. One, you don't want the wire to move around on your dog. And two, you want to protect the wire from being cut or damaged during yard work and trimming. This means that if you have a heavily wooded area, your underground DogSafe electric dog fence can actually be "buried" above ground! The most common way to do this is to use common landscape fabric staples. Most home improvement stores carry them.

Back at the house, both ends of the wire end up at your transmitter. Your transmitter should be located someplace where it can stay dry and close to an outlet so that you can power it. The transmitter, can be up high or down low on the wall, but it should be someplace that you can see it easily. Most transmitters have lights on them to let you know that they're still operational and it's important to be able to see these Lights

Oh, one more thing about laying out the boundaries, besides keeping your dog in the yard, you can keep him or her out of the flower beds! It's a great feature of the wired underground dog fences that you can splice into the loop creating multiple smaller loops to protect not just your dog, but also your flowers from your dog. A nice benefit of the wired systems for sure.

As for the operation of the dog fence, the radio signal that is created by the wire is programmed to a receiver on your dog's collar. This means that other electronics won't set off your dogs collar on the better brands of these products. When your dog approaches the underground fence he or she can receive a warning, a correction or both a warning and a correction. Again this varies a bit depending on the brand.

When getting too close to its 'out of bounds' area, your dog will hear a high pitched tone or beep as a reminder or warning. If you have that cheeky, adventurous type of dog however, they may continue anyway. When your dog tries to cross that wire boundary, a small electric shock will be sent to the receiver collar. This combined with proper training is what makes the fence so effective. Once your dog associates going too far with receiving that electric shock, it will ultimately keep them within the confines and safety of your yard.

The electric shock varies based on dog temperament. But in general it is no more than a small static shock. Although it is completely harmless to your dog, it's best to have an experienced dog fence professional help you set the correction level for your dog. The correction only needs to be enough to be more than your dogs distraction!

Through the association of the electrical correction, your dog will learn to not run away. Using the DogSafe electric dog fence combined with a few weeks of initial training will soon ensure that your dog stays safe in your yard. And won't it be nice to have one less thing to worry about!

How to Install a DogSafe Wireless Dog Fence?

If you are a pet owner, you are undoubtedly a pet lover. And if you're a pet lover, you will inevitably want to keep your pets safe. You may always see that they're well groomed, well fed and up to date with veterinarian checkups, but there are other ways of making sure your pet comes to no harm.

Now with various pet fences available, dog and cat owners everywhere have the option to create their pet's own play area. This area is specifically determined by you and professionally laid out by DogSafe. Pet containment systems have increased in popularity in recent years and are now the top choice for pet owners to ensure their pets safety.

Wuffstop Ultrasonic Dog Bark Control can be stop dog barking instantly and it will help to make safe your dogs also.

Experts in the area of dog training will agree that using a method such as wired pet fencing to stop your dog running away is a very effective tool for boundary training. Underground dog fences are a great option if you want to keep your yard free from the maintenance of a conventional fence. And if you don't like the idea of mowing, and the extra work of trimming near a conventional fence, then another fencing option for you and your pet may be an underground dog fence.

The wire is designed to circle your house, and needs to make a complete loop so that both ends of the wire connect back to the transmitter. For most homes this means finding the best path around your yard, and usually as close to the property line as possible. As part of this layout you may choose to keep your pet out of the garden beds as well. One option for that is to also add your pet fence wiring to the garden so that the same correction that keeps your pet in the yard, will keep him out of the flowers!

Also, if you live next to a large wooded area or have two or three sides of your yard already fenced there are other fencing options for you. Many of our dealers use a strategy called the "banana loop" for enclosing part of a yard. This works great if only partial containment is necessary. This option allows flexibility to prevent your pet from going into the street, while at the same time not limiting the access to a wooded area behind the house (as one example).

This means your dog will stay inside the area surrounded by the wire and not go beyond it. All the while giving access to another zone. Having a professional out to your home to help access your situation is always the best way to determine how to best solve your pet fencing needs. It's the professional lay out, installation and training that can make a difference in the success that you and your pet experience with your pet fencing.

Another option for pet fencing are the wireless systems. These systems have some valid use in the home, as "room transmitters". But the exterior wireless systems are fairly limited in their use. It's only possible to set up a radius for the signal field, and that limits the area that can be established to a circle. I don't know too many people with a circular yard! And if there's too much slope to the terrain a situation may be created where the dog can actually get out under the signal field! That's why it's almost always better to use a wired pet fence system for the exterior portion of your installation.

It may take some training but exploring the pet fencing option instead of conventional fencing means that you may save money, and the life of your pet. Too many customers start with conventional fencing only find that their dog has learned how to dig under or jump (and some even climb) over! Keep your dog safe at home and away from any harm with electronic pet fencing.
