Many responsible pet owners load their dogs into their vehicles on a daily basis without a thought to a restraint system for the animal in the event of a collision. We diligently strap ourselves and out children into the vehicle, but it has never been a habit to do the same for our dogs. Dog seat belts are a great way to protect your dog in the event a crash occurs. Some dog owners have never seen or heard or of dog seat belts, so the fact that they are under used is not surprising. Not only do they protect the animal in a crash, but they protect people in the vehicle from being struck by the animal. They are also a good way to keep the dog from unexpectedly jumping around his vehicle, which can also be a safety hazard. There are several varieties of dog seat belts available but in pet stores and on the internet. The most comfortable would seemingly be a harness which fits over the dogs shoulders and chest and attached to the car seat belt with a clip in the back.
