Pet Car Seat Belt

Adults and children need seatbelts, so should dogs. The first thing I do when getting in a vehicle is to buckle up. I do this before I turn the vehicle on. Rarely do I ever hear the seatbelt ding to remind me to buckle up. Wearing a seatbelt has been ingrained into me since childhood. When I have passengers who don't immediately reach for the seatbelt, I offer a subtle reminder that seatbelts are a must. I do not drive with children who aren't properly buckled in the car. Many people share the same mentality. For those reasons, I am a firm believer that our loved pets should be buckled. Many view their dogs as part of the family, a 4 legged fur child of sorts. If a child isn't buckled, parents will stop a vehicle or not start it until the child is buckled and secure. If that isn't reason enough to secure your dog, consider this. My dog is a 14.5lb 17 yo Jack Russell terrier. She goes with me to family members homes, on longer trips where I can't get home to let her out as frequently and wherever else is dog friendly. Even if she was large enough to be steady in a vehicle, there are other contributing factors that could harm her in a vehicle. One of those is other drivers or poor driving conditions, the other is the need to break suddenly for other drivers, children, people or deer. If I suddenly break, my older and smaller dog essentially flies through the car. This could seriously harm or injur her. For those reasons, I have 2 doggy seatbelts. She stays secure and I am confident it would take a lot for her to go through a windshield. She may not love it, but I am comfortable knowing she is safe and will get to our destination in one piece. There is also a certain comfort in knowing she can't crawl in my lap and make me the unsafe and distracted driver on the road.

Works great. My pup is 12lbs. I hook it to his harness and it keeps him safer than no seat belt. I adjust it long enough so pup can lay down, which is also enough for him to look out passenger’s window and get his head to my side of the center console. I trying to teach him to lay down and stay on his side. The product is very nice quality thick nylon with very good latch part. I’ve also used it as a leash when getting out car but decided I’d rather leave it permanently on headrest. I don’t know what I’d do with it. 5 stars!

Simple but effectivefor dog safety. My terrier, Rusti, is missing a back legs which doesn’t slow him down a bit, but it is difficult for him to balance in the car. His car seat strap is flimsy and he’s figured out how to get out. This strap is sturdier and adjusts in 2 places to ensure I can tighten it effectively to his harness. It keeps him from trying to jump up front, and provides a degree of safety in case of an accident. I’m happy!
