Episode 41. Keeping Your Dog Safe in the Car with Paweenudh Suanpan of Dogs Ride Certified

It’s not an exaggeration for me to say that the information in this episode could save your dog’s life.

After a terrible accident, Paweenduh (you can call her “P” for short) found her purpose and has dedicated her life to raising awareness about keeping your dog safe in the car with dog seatbelts with Dogs Ride Certified.

Believe it or not, there so many products for pets are not regulated. So just because you buy a dog seatbelt that says that it is “crash tested,” P explains to use what this really means.

By the end of this episode, you will know what the safest products are for your dog, where to find them and how to use them.

I have to admit that we don’t use seatbelts with our dogs, but I’m going to change that. I’ll share where we are with our journey, as well.
