January 2nd is National Pet Travel Safety Day, founded by Pet Lifestyle Expert, Animal Advocate and former Paramedic, Colleen Paige to highlight the dangers of unsecured pets in vehicles and educate the public about how to make vehicle travel safer for people and the pets they love.
Driver distraction is the number one cause of car accidents, and an unrestrained pet can easily be a distraction which could cause an unfortunate accident. Even an abrupt stop can cause serious injury to your pet.
We don't think twice when it comes to buckling up for safety for adults or children, but do we remember our furry family members? An unrestrained pet can be seriously injured in the event of even a minor accident. A 60-pound unrestrained dog becomes a 2,700 pound projectile at just 35 mph. An unrestrained pet can also cause a driving distraction that poses a danger to the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road, as well as to bystanders.
There are many different types and styles of safety harnesses for dogs of all sizes to make it an easy step to take to keep everyone safe. After a few uses, it will become habit where you don't even have to think about it. You will also find your trips to be more enjoyable, knowing everyone is safe and having fewer distractions.
In addition to safety harnesses, dog booster seats and dog crates are additional ways to keep your pet safe and secure while traveling.
So make a commitment to keeping everyone safe on the road by ensuring that every traveler is buckled up, even your Furry Travelers.
Safe Travels!

This time of the year is perfect for sunset strolls through the park or neighborhood. However, sometimes our furry friends are not up for the task. If your pups are too tiered or too small to keep up with you, just
take out your PetZip I-Cute Buggy dog stroller and bring them along. The I-Cute Buggy dog stroller is light-weight with a cute dot pattern. The stroller features a double 360 degrees turning front wheel which makes
it a great option for quicker pace jogs. Plus, its easy to fold and stores flat once your home!

Sick and tired of leashes that are uncomfortable and in many cases uncomfortable to your pup? Now you've got an earth-friendly no-pull option! The Easy Walk Harness is offered in limited sizes, these harnesses look and feel hot without contributing to global warming. Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the "opposition reflex." That's the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness's unique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by tightening slightly across your dog's chest and shoulder blades. The gentle pressure steers your dog to the side, redirecting his attention back towards you. The Easy Walk Harness won't cause coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area. Surprise your dog with a leash that both you and him can appreciate! http://www.furrytravelers.com/m7/31284--eco-easy-walk-harness-and-leash.html

The Fourth of July can be an exciting and festive time of the year for our families and friends, but that's not always the case when it comes to our pets. The loud and unfamiliar noises that dogs hear on the 4th can commonly upset and scare them. We want to make sure that all your pups have a safe and settling 4th of July this year. Here are some useful tips when preparing your pooch for the 4th!
1. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise earlier in the day.
2. Keep your dog's inside during fireworks, preferably with human companionship. If it's hot, make sure that the air conditioning or fan is running!
3. Provide a safe and familiar place inside for your dogs to retreat.
4. If possible, keep the windows and curtains closed (the less they see the better).
5. Make sure all your dogs are wearing ID tags with a properly fitting collar. (Dogs have been known to become Houdini around the 4th of July.)
6. Leave your dog something fun to do – like a new toy or bone.
7. We also recommend (and sell) the ThunderShirt- a proven effective, all-natural solution to pet anxiety and fear caused by things like fireworks, thunderstorms, separation, travel and more. You can learn more or buy the ThunderShirt here: http://www.furrytravelers.com/m7/3095--thundershirt.html
We hope these tips help, and that everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!
