Hi,

I am fairly new but was curious if anyone uses a seatbelt for thier pets, some of my friends think I am crazy using a seatbelt for my Italian Greyhound Bella Luna. I have to say back in 1998 I was in a car accident and Sophia (who passed away in 2004 due to Cancer) was in the passenger seat and she was in a seatbelt, thank goodness because that is where the car hit me she didn't even jolt. The vet said it was a good thing she had that on, and since then I have been using a seatbelt. There is one in my husband's car and one in my car.

As you can see I don't listen or care what my friends say, its just that I feel comfortable using the seatbelt.http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

I have a car harness for my dogs which I can slip a seat belt through and holds them in place, but I haven't heard of an actual SEAT BELT for pets. Is there a website for the product you're using?

I have considered useing a seat harness for my dogs. Unfortinatly, I think I know of a couple...one...Gracie...that would fight every minute of it and probably chew right through it.

Not only would Blue not fit on the seat but he would fit it all the way. So no I don't. ;)

I use a "seat belt" on Kia and Chipper.

I got mine from here:

Many people give me compliments on the ruggedness of the harness when I'm taking them for a walk and they're surprised when I tell them it's their seat belt. :D

the seatbelt that I use is like a harness, if you can somewhat see it in this picture. I tried taking it yesterday with Bella in it, she doesn't like anyone holding her in it but me (so spoiled). lol
