Summer Pet Travel Safety Tips from ICBC and the BC SPCA
A recent ICBC survey found that 40% of pet guardians plan to road trip with their pet this summer, yet only half use safety restraints. Unsecured pets can cause serious injury in a crash and distract the driver—distraction being the second-leading cause of fatal crashes in B.C. ICBC and the BC SPCA recommend always securing pets with a harness or crate, keeping them in the back seat or cargo area, and never driving with a pet on your lap. Bringing essentials like food, water, and toys can also help reduce distractions. Learn more at ICBC.
