Tour Sponsor Spotlight: Toyota

Last year I was honored along with five pet industry colleagues to be appointed to Toyota's Pet Safety Inititative advisory board. With so many people traveling with their pets in the car, Toyota has recognized the importance of property securing and protecting pets in a vehicle for the safety of both pet and driver.

Meetings with Toyota execs allowed me and my other PET (Pet Expert Team) members Stacy Mantle, Sandy Robins, Megan Blake, Greg Kleva, and Kristen Levine to really give some insight into what pet owners want from their vehicles. In addition, the PET team serves as ambassadors to educate the public on pet travel safety and Toyota's Pet Safety Initiative.

Toyota has partnered with some great companies that make wonderful products for securing and protecting your pet in the car, and has produced vehicles with pet-friendly features.

While brainstorming the best possible ways I could get Toyota's pet safety message out to the public, the idea for my Toyota Pet Safety Tour was born. There's nothing like meeting people face to face and connecting over a mutual love for pets, and getting YOUR feedback on this very important initiative. See you soon on the road.
