Good News: Auto Insurance Covers Pets Injured In Car Accidents!

| Comments (0)

dog-in-car-by-T-Winberg-L-Mednis.jpg The latest trend in pet insurance is to insure your pet on your regular auto insurance policy.

Yes, dogs and cats are now covered by most car insurance companies -- at no extra cost to you, the pet owner -- should they be injured in an auto accident!

Well... almost.

While it is true that many car insurance companies will cover vet bills associated with car accidents, there are a few "catches". So, if you're not careful to read the fine print, you could easily get tripped up.

Should Driving With A Dog On Your Lap Or Unrestrained In Your Car Be Against The Law?

| Comments (0)

jersey-dog-riding-in-the-car-florida.jpg If you drive with your dog unrestrained in your car (which means the dog has the freedom to roam from your lap... to the back seat... front seat... and from window to window) and you live in California, then you may be breaking the law.

That is, if a bill sponsored by Bill Maze in the California state legislature passes. On May 5th, it passed in the California Assembly with a 44-11 vote. The bill now heads to the Senate. The earliest this new law could go into effect is January 1, 2009.

You have a potential major risk of an auto accident when you have a live pet that can be around in your face, in the steering wheel, down on the floor under your feet," Maze said Friday. "Pets have a mind of their own and are unpredictable." Source

WARNING: Dogs Can Fall Out Of Car Windows... Even When They're Rolled Up!

destin-black-lab-car-ride.jpgIt happened to me. With a 60 lb. Black Lab at 7 months of age. And the car was moving!

Lately, I've been seeing so many people riding around with their dogs in the car. Some have the windows completely down. Others have the windows partially rolled up, hoping to keep their dog from jumping out.

I'm here to tell you: A dog can fall out of a window that is half-way or even most of the way rolled up!

Here's my story...
