Many of our four legged friends love accompanying their owners on car drives to exciting destinations: the park, the beach, a friends house – never the vet though! Car safety is of paramount importance to humans and the same should be extended to dogs. Dog seat belts are a great product that will protect your pooch in a potential road accident and minimize any distrubances they can sometimes cause during transit – all of which provides assurance to owners.
We take a look at some dog seatbelts currently on the market.

HDP Car Harness Dog Safety Seat Belt Gear Travel System
The HDP Car Harness is a durable device that is easily adjustable allowing your pet to position themselves comfortably throughout car journeys. It has quick release buckles and effectively protects your pets whilst travelling. This product is ideal if your pet enjoys jumping around in the backseat of your vehicle as it prevents them from moving about too much, but still keeping them comfortable. It’s easy to clip in and out and is particularly useful on smaller dogs like Jack Russells or on dogs with a body shape like that of a daschund – which can sometimes be a struggle finding a seatbelt or harness to fit them. This is a flexible and durable product which suits most dogs.
The EzyDog Seat Belt Restraint is a sturdy and reliable product. It allows dogs to be seated comfortably whilst minimizing the possibility of driving distractions. This product is designed to be used with an EzyDog harness, but it is possible to use it on its own although you may not achieve as much flexibility, depending on the size of your dog and the type of seat belts you have. What’s great about this product is that it is flexible so your dog can sit up or lie down during journeys. It’s also really simple to use and implement and is incredibly convenient – you can just tuck it away when you’re not using it. Overall this is a great product, but it does work best in conjunction with a harness for maximum flexibilty and comfort.
