"If you are travelling anywhere with a pet it’s important that you use a pet safety belt or a travel carrier as opposed to having them loose in the car with you," Conor Faughnan told Dublin Live.
"While it may seem harmless to allow your pet to pop his head out the window or sit in the passenger seat next to you, animals are, by their nature, unpredictable and could easily become startled or react in a way which takes your concentration off the task at hand.
"Ultimately, very few people would allow a passenger in their car without using a seatbelt and we need to take the same precaution with our pets too."
