Seatbelt Harness
Seatbelt Harness
What is the best way to secure a dog safely in a car while traveling?
My husband and I are taking my dog to the beach with us and it is a 10 hour drive. Our 75lb chocolate lab does great in the car on short drives but I am just afraid that if we got in an accident..there is nothing to keep her from flying through the windsheild. We have a Ford Explorer and she always sits in the back seat (not the far back )...is there some product I can buy to keep her secure and safe (like a seatbelt for a human) without making her uncomfortable. I have seen dog harnesses for in the car but not sure what is the best brand and if they really work. money is not concern here....she is my main concern.
There is a harness that has a strap that buckles into the seatbelt receptacle.
Here is one example, I just did a google search for dog safety car harness...

dog in the car?
g'day all,
ive got a cattle dog who loves to go in the car, for short around town trips, wearing his doggy harness through the seatbelt. so thats all fine,
but as soon as the car starts moving, he whimpers, cries and tries to jump out of his harness through the window at passing cars. as soon as we stop, or pull over somewhere, he stops whimpering and curls up and goes to sleep.
i thought maybe he doesnt like the motion of the car, but he never used to do it when he was a puppy, its just over the last couple months.
does anyone else have this problem ?? how have you fixed it ??
thanks all
cheerio
He does have 2 other dogs who come with him in the car, and also some of my family members are always there with him...
thank you to everyone who responded 
i dont know how to do the 'best answer' thing yet, but so far, greatest thanks to PRIME.
Cheers
Hey sharon, looks like your dog got the same problem like my dog.
Well what I did was to not pay any attention to him when he did whimper r cry, but you should take him to his favourite place in your car then slowly you can take him around(like i used to take him to the beach and then slowly I started taking him for small trip here and there). and slowly my dog was ok and didnt whimper.
hope this helps
cheers
