Treating pets injured in car accidents can be traumatic for your team. But just like human passengers, pets are at risk of serious injury—or worse, death—by collision or when an airbag deploys. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, Dr. Cassi chats with Dr. Elisa Mazzaferro, a critical care clinician, about the types of injuries Dr. Mazzaferro has seen from unrestrained animals in cars, as well as the risk that is posed to human safety. Riding with pets not safely restrained in the car poses a risk to both the pet and the human driver and passengers. There is also the potential for negatively impacting vehicles that are sharing the roadway with you. They explore different restraint devices and how to communicate risks and car safety principles to pet owners. You’ll learn about resources for veterinary professionals treating pets with these injuries and how to communicate with clients or first responders who are calling about a pet injured in an accident.
