Traveling with dog??

[zoomer]

My dogs ride in the back, there is a steel guard so they cannot get up front. If we take it down, we will put them in crates. I don't think seat belts are that comfortable and what if they want to lie down?

The thing is... I have a toddler in the middle of the back seat. I have a pont grand am. Small car. I want a minivan tho. But I have one year left to pay on my car. I going to call and see what my payoff is, and research again. Last I tried was almost a year ago. Hopefully... Hopefully I can trade finally. Wish me luck!

Since we're getting ready to travel in minutes...

I just have a regular dog harness. You can slip the seatbelt between the dog and the back strap and buckle them in. That's what I do. They can easily lie down if they want to.

They also have small leads that strap into your seat belt and hook onto the collar. So it will keep your dog in the back seat, but they can still move around back there if they want.

I just got a seat belt for Jake. I love it.

They wear them like a harness, I don't think they look uncomfortable. Jake can lay down just fine. I put him in the back seat and he seems very comfortable.

Last night went to petsmart.com and looked for walking harnesses for snuggles. I think I saw a seat harness but not sure you should check for yourself.

I saw the harneses too. But how much room will that give them to move around? He needs something to keep him close to the seat.

I sooo need a minivan. I owe another 4,000 on my car.

I am really not sure we went today but I didn't have time to look. I was able to look at one on the internet and it looked like he would have room. There are probably some that will not let them move to much.

I put Jake in the back seat, but he can't really move around. He can sit and lay down, but he doesn't move around much. I don't know how it'd be in the front, but I don't think he's be able to move around too much.

I'd get one and try it out. Keep the receipt and if you don't like it you can take it back. I know PetSmart will take things back even if they're open and slightly used as long as you have the receipt.
