You might think crating your dog in the car is restrictive, but it is actually one of the safest things you can do. A crate protects your dog from injury in an accident and prevents them from bolting out of the car at a rest stop or in an emergency.

This clip comes from the full episode “Is Crating Cruel? 5 Surprising Benefits for Your Dog” on The Pet Parent Hotline with host Amy Castro, MA, CSP. Amy explains how crating provides safety and security for both you and your dog while traveling and why the right setup matters as much as the crate itself.
