The number of pets traveling in cars has increased by 300% since 2005. This presents a challenge to first responders at accident sites.
A pet safety identification card can provide crucial information about your pet, including emergency contacts who can provide care for your pet when you can’t. Bark Buckle UP is a non-profit advocacy group promoting awareness for safety while traveling with pets, and they have something for you.
To benefit from this offer for a free First Responder Approved Pet Safety Kit from Bark Buckle UP, follow these simple steps:
- Go to BarkBuckleUP.com and register your pet’s information: owner, veterinarian, emergency contacts and notes.
- Upload your pet’s photo. (Bark Buckle UP will print and ship your custom pet safety card and first responder decal. Additional first responder decals available upon request.)
- Place the decal on your car window, and put the pet safety card in the glove box. The decal will alert first responders to the pet safety card in the glove box.
Remember, no pet safety kit can take the place of proper pet restraint while on the road. Restraining your pet inside a vehicle with a travel harness, carrier, crate, tether or dog/cat car seat can save your life and your pet’s life! Unrestrained pets can crash into human passengers with great force.
Captain Jim Doucette of the Sacramento Fire Department said:
“The firefighters of the Sacramento Fire Department respond to countless auto accidents. Unfortunately, many of these accidents also involve pets that become crash victims, because they are not secure inside the vehicle. Many of our firefighters are pet owners and we know firsthand that by securing your animal inside your vehicle properly, you may save their life in an accident.”
