Pets more likely to be injured in winter

Dog and cat owners need to ensure that they are taking extra care of their pets during the winter, as they are much more likely to be involved in an accident in these months.

Birmingham, AZ (prHWY.com) November 24, 2011 - Dog and cat owners need to ensure that they are taking extra care of their pets during the winter, as they are much more likely to be involved in an accident in these months.

A study from insurance company More Th>n found that there were 59% more claims for road accidents between November 2010 and January 2011, compared to the previous three months. The research also highlighted a number of areas as hotspots for pet accidents and these are Ilford and Sutton in London, Huddersfield and Halifax in Yorkshire, and Carlisle in Cumbria.

The increase in the number of pets being injured or killed in road accidents in the winter is thought to be caused by a lack of visibility during the dark mornings and evenings, as motorists simply don't always see them before its too late.

Making your pet more likely to be seen in the dark can be done by investing in high visibility and reflective cat and dog collars for them to wear every day and brightly coloured dog coats or vests for when you take them out on walks. Taking this simple precaution can ensure that drivers will see your pet and be able to stop before it is too late.
