Car Companion–How to Safely Drive with Your Pet

According to an AAA/Kurgo survey, about six in ten respondents have driven with their dog in the vehicle at least one time per month within the past year. Of those who have driven with their dog or another pet, almost a third say they have been distracted by their pet while driving, and sixty-five percent admit they have engaged in at least one distracting activity associated with having their pet in the car.

These activities included petting the animal, reaching into the back seat to interact with the pet, allowing a dog or cat to sit in their lap while they drive, using hands or arms to keep the pet from climbing from the back seat to the front seat—or to otherwise restrict the pet’s movement—and even to take a photo of the pet. In fact, any way you look at it, pets can be a distraction while driving.
