You're going to have to be vigilant to help keep your pets safe, especially for pets who like to gobble up table scraps. It’s a good marketing move by the automaker as so many of Subaru owners have pets who travel in the Subaru vehicle with their "pet parents." Now the pets will be as safe as the kids. Pet Owners who find needles (or other sharp objects) in their pet’s toy should report the incident immediately to Center for Pet Safety, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, your state’s Attorney General (Office of Consumer Protection), department of public health and the toy’s manufacturer. Subaru believes they have a responsibility to their owners with pets and to make them aware of the safety risks. According to a AAA survey, nearly six in 10 (56 percent) respondents have driven with their dog at least once a month in the past year, however, many participate in behaviors that take their attention away from the road with the most common activity being petting their dog (52 percent). Michael McHale, Subaru's director of corporate communications says, "Pet safety is very important to Subaru as more than half of Subaru drivers are pet owners, with over 69 percent of them owning at least one dog.
A pilot study was initially done by the Center and they found that the majority of pet safety restraints currently on the market do not provide acceptable protection in a crash situation. For the majority of pet products, manufacturers can make a product and sell it on the internet, with no quality standards to meet, no safety testing, no liability insurance and they are doing nothing illegal. Subaru is the only manufacturer with IIHS Top Safety Picks for all models for five consecutive years (2010-2014). Subaru has been concerned about safety in their vehicles since the 1960s when they conducted their own tests before there were any official tests being done. Subaru has more 2015 IIHS Top Safety Pick awards than any other brand. Subaru and the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) have been in partnership since 2013 when the automaker began funding the research that went into the testing of pet car safety restraints. While it may seem that Subaru cares more about your dog then they do your children, the Japanese automaker is the leader in vehicle safety for its occupants.
The Japanese automaker knows that many of their loyal Subaru owners have pets and they want to reach out to this group. Take steps to have them changed if necessary. Take steps to prove ownership of your pet. Because so many Subaru owners own dogs, they naturally take them along while traveling in the car. Subaru says 56 percent of American pet owners take their pets in the car, and one in five admit to traveling with a pet in their lap. Some of the advice for the outdoors also applies to traveling. Keeping our pets secure is important any time of the year, but with the holidays coming up quickly I would like to pass on some advice on holiday pet safety. To help promote the safety of these furry family members, Subaru will now begin funding CPS’s testing of pet crates and small carriers in crash situations. Now they will begin funding more testing that will go into testing the structural integrity of pet crates and carriers.
Examine the safety, structural integrity and crashworthiness of crates and carriers. Fabric crates are not for puppies, as they can be easily breached. Home is generally a safe place for us, but there are still dangers for our pets. It can chocolate hurt dogs be connected easily to your car’s seatbelt, and it works by keeping your pet in place while you drive. Also consider also including a muzzle in your emergency kit - if your pet requires wound treatment, keeping him/her muzzled may help you safely treat your pet without the risk of being bitten and will also prevent your pet from licking and potentially infecting an open wound. Cone alternatives are brilliant for the affected pet but you also need to keep other animals away from the wound. Whenever you need them, they are always there. If you are adopting from a shelter, you won’t have that option, so make sure that there is ample warm bedding available and a secure place for your pup to quietly relax. Creating a safe place for your pet is crucial to its comfort. If you need to leave your home in an emergency, keep your pet gear handy and close to a safe exit.
