Now that we have 2 dogs, Ruby tends to want to wander the car, unlike before when she would stand still and stare out the window.

In doing research, I also realized the danger of having dogs unsecured in the car. Eek !

I have been looking on Amazon and Drs. Foster and Smith, and they have several options for hooking them in. Does anyone have one that they use and love ? I want ones that hook to their harnesses and not crate them. Also, is there a way to hook the puppy in so she can't chew on the seatbelt ?

Thank you

Karen

If you are getting a seatbelt for the dogs, make sure you do a lot of research to find one that has actually passed crash testing, otherwise in an accident it may do more harm than good.

The safest place for a dog in a vehicle is typically in a crate. I don't have a vehicle where that is possible with the number and size of crates I'd need. The next time I'm shopping for a vehicle though, I'll be taking crates with me and attempting to find one that can accommodate them (and hoping like heck that a van isn't my only option).
