The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association has announced that Gov. Bev Perdue has signed a proclamation announcing November 2011 as Safe Pet Travel Awareness Month in North Carolina and urging citizens to commend observance. Nearly 90 percent of pet owners indicate that they travel with their pets, and the AAA Auto Club and American Veterinary Medical Association recommend that people use restraints on dogs and cats to prevent harm to the animals, the driver and other passengers.
