Even if you’ve already made your travel plans for this holiday season, check out the great information that our Boston blog has compiled on traveling with your pet.

Our favorite tip comes from Edmunds…we highly recommend their advice in Tip #4. California now has a mandatory dog seat belt law, but even if it’s legal in your state, we highly urge you to buckle or restrain your dog in the car.

Since Oscar isn’t crate trained, we opted for the seal belt/restraining harness option. There are lots of car harness options available. If your dog already has a harness, you can just get a simple adapter to connect his harness to a seat belt - we got the BatziBelt a few months ago and it’s great! It’s pretty small so you can just leave it attached the the seat belt and then it’s ready to use whenever you need it.

Combine the BatziBelt with a comfortable harness like those made by Puppia for a practical way to keep your dog comfortable and safe in the car.

We wish you and your pets a safe and happy holiday season!
