What’s the safest way to travel with large dogs in the back seat?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been looking into safer ways to travel with larger dogs in the car. I’ve seen mixed opinions about harnesses vs crates.

From what I found, crash-tested harnesses seem to be safer than basic seatbelt clips, especially for long trips.

Would love to hear what setups you guys are using.

Crash tested harnesses are a good option for larger dogs, especially when properly fitted and attached to a strong seatbelt anchor. Some owners also prefer secured crates, since they limit movement and provide more protection in sudden stops. The best setup often depends on your dog’s size, behavior, and available space.

Just to note that the mod, admin, and site owner doesn’t take kindly to using the site for free company advertising.

I note they’ve removed the corporate hyperlink since this morning. From prior experience watching this happen that’s a gentle first step to remind new members that unsolicited advertising is against the rules. next couple of steps tend to involve the ban stick…

If you want to become a site sponsor then I’m sure a little advertising space might be available 😊

Ummm ...

Some dogs like to do the driving
