With Easter road trips around the corner, this week we’re tackling a critical safety topic for pet owners: transporting dogs safely in vehicles. Many Aussies think it’s harmless to hold their dog on their lap or let them hang out the window — but these common practices are dangerous and can carry hefty fines.

Joining us is our resident vet, Andrew Cornwell, who shares practical tips on keeping pets safe, explains the legal obligations, and highlights the risks to both animals and humans.

Thousands of dogs are injured every year from being incorrectly restrained in vehicles — making proper restraint essential for both pets and people.

Stay tuned and make sure your furry friends travel safely this holiday season!
