Dog car Travel guide
We don't want to think about it, but have you thought about what might happen if you had to hit the brakes when your furry friend was in the car? Or if you were involved in an accident when your furry friend was with you in the car? It is a horrible thought but if we don't secure our furry friends correctly they could unfortunately get seriously injured or worse.
Lead Restraint
​
One of the most common ways people restrain their dog is to simply attach a lead from their dogs collar to their seat-belt mounting position.
​
In the event of a sudden stop or accident this could potentially cause severe injury to a dogs neck or even worse. Dogs also have a tendency to get tangled when secured in a vehicle this way. Securing your dog this way is extremely dangerous and not recommended.
Tether Harness as a Car Restraint
​
Another common way people restrain their dogs in a car is by using a tether type harness. These are not specifically designed for a car and can sometimes tear during a car accident.
As the harness requires a tether your dog will not be appropriately restrained if a sudden stop or car accident occurs. This is because your dog won't be restrained using your vehicles seat-belt.
In an accident or sudden stop securing a dog this way could potentially cause severe injury to a dog or even worse. Securing your dog this way is not recommended.

​
The Plush Dog Safety Dog Car Harness uses your vehicles seat-belt to secure your dog. This allows your dog the comfort of sitting up or lying down whilst still being safely restrained.
In the event of a collision the harness has been designed to spread the load across a dogs body. Because the Plush Dog Safety Dog Car Harness uses your vehicles seat belt this will prevent your dog from being moved violently during a vehicle collision. This significantly reduces the chance of your furry friend being injured in the event of a sudden stop or car accident.
