Seat Belts For Dogs
It's just as important for dogs to buckle up as it is for humans, says a Colorado company that makes dog seat belts and other products for dog travel safety.
  The Champion canine seat belt system attaches to all types of vehicle seat belts, and to cargo hooks in vans and trucks. The seat belts are made from 2-in. wide nylon webbing. A wide range of attachment options and swivel features make it easy to restrain your dog, control its range of movement, and prevent entanglement - a common problem with other seat belt harnesses. The harness uses a D-ring on each side that's said to make the system very strong and reliable. It includes a specially-engineered harness and restraint strap that quick-releases. Seat belts specially designed for puppies are also available.
  Seat belts keep dogs from roaming the car and distracting the driver. They also prevent escapes at slow speeds and help some dogs feel more secure when traveling.
  According to the company, driver distraction is the cause of about one third of all traffic accidents. Dog seat belts will reduce driver distraction, making driving with dogs safer for everyone on the road.
  The seat belts sell for $28 to $34 apiece depending on size and model. The company also sells pet restraints for pickup beds.
