Millions of pet owners put their dogs in their car and find that they slide around, get scared, or want to continually hang outside of the window. Putting a pet in this type of situation is scary to them, and if you get into an accident, you'll find that it's completely scary. You don't want to have your pet injured in an accident, which seems to be the number one reason why you need a seat belt for your dog, but consider the following reasons that will assist you in the long term.

Quick Impacts - Think for a moment the velocity that you go when you're on the freeway or in the streets. If you're moving fast, you could end up stopping quickly and your pet can go flying. The impact that can be created when in a collision can really harm a pet and even kill them. If you're not convinced, consider the damage that is caused to the human body even when they have an airbag and seat belt, and then compare that to what happens when a pet with no seat belt goes flying.

Emergency Restraint - Restraining your pet is something that many people have found to be good over time. Think about the frantic nature of a pet when you're in danger. If you're involved in a car wreck, your dog is going to be barking and scared about what's happening and what will happen next, and rightfully so. By getting a seat belt for your dog, you will make sure that anyone that comes to help you will be able to concentrate on your needs and then help your pet afterwards, without having to deal with a frantic and crazy pet on the loose.

The Jumping Dog - Dogs love open windows, and they'll stick their heads out and enjoy the wind in their face with great ease. However, some dogs can get very excited by certain things and if they jump while you're parked or driving, you will have to jump out of your car and chase them down, creating havoc. You don't want to do that, so a restraint is the key here.

The aforementioned are 3 reasons you need a seat belt for your dog. If you're not fully convinced, consider taking some time to make a trial run. Test it out for your pet and then go on a long drive. Spend time with them, and place them fully in the restraint and watch them obey your orders, and still love the drives you share with them.
