Dog Car Seat
by Sveden

Question by cali682003: Attention dog lovers! Need your help on dog car seats?
Hello……I am going to be adopting a pug puppy. I want to be able to safely take him with me in the car. Can someone please post links to a SAFE and effective dog car seat. So many online reviews of car seats I’ve seen at pet stores are awful….the dog gets out, the dog could be choked by straps, etc. Could someone who has purchased a really good and effective car seat please tell me about it and also a link to the product and where I could buy it? My puppy will be very small to begin with but I need something that can grow with him. Thanks!

A dog does NOT need a seat. I understand you don’t want him running around in the car, but buy a crate large enough for him (as an adult) to turn around, sit/stand up and lay down in, put it in the boot of the car or on the back seats, and that works /fine/. It’s a lot safer than a seatbelt/seat and a lot more comfortable for the dog.

Homemade dog car seats?

Question by Tiff H: Homemade dog car seats?
I like most people take my dog for car rides. I use a safety harness for her safety. I’m having issues though because she is all over the place trying to look out the window. I have a pom who is only 5 pounds so she cant see out when restrained. I have looked into these doggy car seats and some are expensive while some are cheaper too. The only issue now is we have a VW bug with a shelf in the back. If you don’t know what that means it is we only have two seats and a high flat carpet surface in the back. I have considered making a homemade car seat permanent back there. Our dog is usually always with us since she makes a good travel companion. I want to make her a custom seat back there. Lots of foam and fabric and it will be restrained to the cars body. It will be like the look out car seats so she can see out the window. I want her behind me because her current harness is the kind that is hooked to my seat belt and I don’t think this is safe since my belt is a lap belt. I know this may not seem safe a homemade car seat but I’m not asking opinions about that I want to know how to make it safe. Oh yeah don’t tell me just to leave her at home if I was going to do that I could have thought of that on my own. Thanks for all the input.
I really do like the nice suede doggy lookout seats and have considered buying one and figure out how to keep it in one spot. Has anyone done this do you think I could hook it to the back of my seat? It would be half way up to where the shelf meets it.
i don’t have a head rest in this car. well there is a part for you head it just isn’t like the ones you see today. i just need to know a type i could hook to the back of a seat. or how i can make my own.

Ten Essential Car Safety Tips For Dogs

Credit Repair: How To Help Yourself

Our pets are a part of the family and they deserve to be safe while on the road and in the vehicle with us. We can show our love to them by taking all available safety precautions whenever we have them in the car. Below are some essential safety tips to ensure that we get the best out of every trip we make.

 

*  Keeping  a pet First Aid kit in your home and car is a necessity for all pet owners. Ensure to take the one you keep in your car with you on all trips with your pet. Because many situations require fast action to prevent further injury, you should be familiar with the First Aid kit and procedures to be ready when your pet needs immediate help.

 

* Be sure to keep the dog’s leash firmly in hand when loading and unloading the dog from the car.

 

* Secure your dog in a position that keeps him or her away from car controls and buttons. Dogs have had their heads trapped in car windows after activating them.

 

* It’s important you have a tag with an identification like your cell phone number on your pet just in case he or she slips out your sight.

 

* We all know how our best friends enjoy to ride in the front seat with us, but this is unsafe for both the pet and driver. Pets can easily be thrown into the windshield when a sudden stop is made and they can also interfere with one’s driving by causing distractions, thereby putting the two parties at risk.

 

* Keeping your pet in a crate or at the back seat takes away the danger of injury caused by an airbag. Airbags can harm pets and children when they rupture out of the dashboard with great force.

 

*  Pets should always be secured while inside a car. Most pet dog car seats come with safety straps and harness while some pet carriers come with an internal leash to restrain the pet in the car.

 

* Pet carriers, pet crates and dog seats for cars should always be fastened to the car seat so it does not dash forward or spin in case of a sudden stop or accident. Pet car seats usually comes with Seatbelt safety loops and if your car seat does not have room for these you can simply install a pet safety belt which has been known to be the best way to secure a dog in the car.

 
   

 

* Keep the windows rolled up high enough so that your dog cannot squeeze out. Dogs could try to escape from a moving vehicle if it’s a strange experience for them.

 

Traveling with your pet should always be a pleasurable activity which should be done with comfort, safety and style for you and your best friend. But of all these three, we should put safety first.
