Dogs And Car Safety
A bunch of tests done on seat belts for dogs have shown less than promising end results in real collisions. Many have come loose on impact and otherwise did not hold the dog in place in an accident. It’s important to note that most seat belts are not designed to supply the same type of protection for a dog in an accident as a human’s seat belt is. The restraints are engineered to defend you and your dog by keeping your dog from rambling loose in the automobile.
A dog that can jump into your lap, wind around your feet, bump the gear shift or perhaps step on the gas or brake pedal could set off a serious accident. It is also hard to steer a vehicle when you are trying to corral a curious dog. The restraint keeps your dog in one place so you don’t get distracted. There’s a way to find a restraint that is likelier to defend your dog in an accident, even though this isn't promised.
At the EzyDog store, you can choose between a couple of styles of seat belt restraints. One is designed to hook onto your dog’s harness. It’s a loop that your car’s seatbelt goes thru, so your pet is actually strapped to the present seatbelt, which is designed for collision safety. The other option clicks into the seatbelt receiver to hold the dog in place with a strap hooked to a harness or collar.
Before you choose to leave your dog loose, consider what might happen if there’s an accident. The air bag can prove lethal. Dogs can be tossed out of the car through the glass as quickly as humans who are not seat-belted. And your dog could also run from the scene in a panic if he isn’t restrained.
Avoid these possibilties by using a dog seat belt every time your dog is in your car.
