Ear flapping fun...


What is so great about riding in a car with your head out the window?

If you’re a dog, you already know. Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Kelly Moffat says the deluge of sights, sounds and smells are irresistible to some dogs. Their senses are a lot more keen than ours and dogs who like it experience an auto-high that’s tough to top.

Now for the bad news. Indulging your dog ear-flapping fun is dangerous. We don’t let our kids ride unrestrained in the car and the same rules should apply to our pets. Road debris poses a real hazard to your dogs sensitive eyes, ears and nose.  Dr. Moffat suggests belting your dog in the back seat and opening the window for a safer exhilarating experience. Good luck with that.
