Animals are the ninth-ranked cause of driver distraction according to the analysis presented in California’s new legislation, which attempts to eliminate driver distraction. Carting your pets around with you while you run errands might be a way of life for you and your pet, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, California is being proactive by making it illegal for drivers to allow pets on their lap while operating a motor vehicle. While this may seem harsh, it’s really about the safety of you, your pet and other drivers on the road.

It can be distracting when your pet is jumping back and forth from the back seat to the front seat. Maybe your dog sits on your lap and puts its head out the window and barks at the cars whizzing by. Either way, it’s not the safest situation. Regardless of whether you live in California, there are ways that you can protect you and your pet on your next car trip.

A Doberman named Buddha who had spinal degeneration and disc disease was the inspiration for Eddie’s Wheels for Pets. Ten-year-old Buddha took to his wheelchair quickly and even waded in the river with it on. Now that Buddha happily lived out his life, a Dachshund named Daisy is now the company’s mascot. She has five wheelchairs including one in pink.

Parting with your pet can leave you feeling worried, sad, nervous, regretful, etc., which doesn’t leave you much room to feel relaxed during your vacation.
