This post is part of a pet safety campaign sponsored by Lexus.

Every day we’re surrounded by information regarding securing our children safely in our vehicles, but what about traveling with our furry friends?  Did you know that in some states there are even laws regarding restraining pets in moving vehicles?

We have partnered with Lexus to help drivers better understand how to keep their pets safe in the car. Join us at upcoming #LexusPetSafety events this fall in Princeton, New Jersey, Carlsbad California and Phoenix, Arizona and learn not just how to travel safely with your pet, but how to best restrain, feed and care for your pup in the car– and in style: we will be demonstrating techniques in the all-new Lexus ES, the luxurious LS sedan and other models.
