Prevent driver distraction
A pet moving into the driver's area can create a road-safety problem.
Secure carriers and gear
Follow vehicle and product instructions for placement and attachment.
Do not assume a pet product is a child restraint
Transport Canada's child-restraint standards should not be confused with marketing claims for pet restraints.
Provincial rules differ
Road-transport and animal-transport rules can vary, so check the province or territory involved.
General product-selection information only. A pet's health, anatomy, mobility, breathing and behaviour can change what equipment is appropriate. Follow product directions and ask a veterinarian or qualified animal-care professional when those issues matter.
