How do you keep your dog when he/she is in the car?
We have a very very smal car without a space for a cage in the back. So today Alf rides in a craschtested- harness (Allsafe) in the backseat. But this week we hopefully vill get our new bigger car (a subaru XV) so we will get him a crashtestted cage in the back.
Craschtested harness or cages are more expensive here in sweden but they are worth it. The dog doesnt get thrown around, the dogs weight dubbels or more (?) in a frontal crasch. You will get 100 of kilos of dog trown through the windsheild from the backseat if the dog isnt "locked down".
But I must be honest. If we drive short ways we doesnt always but the harness on, he just rides in the backseat. That is not good. Even in low speed a crash can be fatal..... But with the cage in the back we will always have him safe in the car!
