Re: R. I. P


Maybe dog owners here should think whether they ought to use a restraint harness for their dog in the car? Ever since the possibility struck me that, through no fault of my own, some idiot might hit me, smash the car open and cause Dinah to run off into traffic in terror, I've used the harness.
Also, should you be unfortunate enough to be in a smash your dog will not be catapulted through to the front of the car and kill/injure you before going through the windscreen.
Not nice thoughts, but a very simple thing to do to help keep you all safe.
Sorry to be a real prophet of doom.

Good point DM.
At work now, we strongly recomend that people who look after our dogs use some kind of restraint. Either a cage / harness / dog guard. Not only for the H&S of the dog, but also the family. If someone raninto the back of a car & a 70LB dog came hurtling forward, it would be bad news all round.


Whilst we are on the subject, it isn't safe to travel dogs in a passenger footwell in a car fitted with passenger airbags.

Re: R. I. P


When my two are travelling with just me or a pasenger the back seat is put down and both travel in the back in cages. Safe and sound if more than one person travels with me - meaning the back seat has to stay up then the girls travel on the back seat with harness on. As I normaly have luggage of some sort then too.

If just me and one of them travel then the harness is brought into action.
