Question kids in belts. what about dogs and pets?

amandav · Jul 19, 2009

I tried to do a search here but probably not the correct forum / website for this question.
but does anyone know of a site for information on pet saftey in vehicles?
I have a 8 yr old Boxer, 60lbs, and he loves to ride around in the car. He is almost like a child to me. We never got anything for him in the car as far as safety, I am sure I would be in a world of hurt if something happened to him while in the car, car crass, thrown from car, even hurting one of us in the car.
he doesn't ride around often. but its seems I have overlooked this area of safety.

There are a number of different products out there for pets....we have harnesses for each of our dog, though they don't go with us a lot, last weekend we went on a camping trip and they rode along in the 3rd row. I bought the harnesses years ago before I had kids (my oldest is almost 4) and used them a lot when my pups use to go everywhere with us.

Here's a link showing many different types avaiable
