Dog Car Restraint?

[ratdogg]

don't beat yourself up too much!!! It was an accident. He happened to jump up at the wrong time. I still think I'm gonna go find a car seat for him for the future.

Ohhh I was hoping it wasn't you, Cathy I'm so sorry to hear about Jasper's tumble. I'm sure my heart would've stopped if I ever saw that. As for restraints, I too never leave the window open large enough for their head to pop out. Well, actually, we drive them in a mini-van so the window only opens sideways. Otherwise, you could invest in one of those doggy seatbelts or a crate. Give Jasper some hugs and kisses for me!

Cathy, I'm so sorry that happened to you. What an awful thing to have to go through. I'm glad Jasper seems to be doing okay though. ((hugs))

OMG I'm so glad Jasper is alright. And hugs to you too, I shake for quite a time after a scare like that!

I use the Guardian Gear harness, it clips into the seat belt snap so it is easy to do and undo. You can leave the harness on for walking.

Here is a link, I got mine from Pet Edge. They also offer other types, but this works for me and 2 bichons. They can lie down or sit up.

Don't beat yourself up too much Cathy.

When Tito was a puppy, I had him in my lap (as a passenger, not a driver) i had one hand on his back, and the other holding the end of his leash. All the sudden he leaped out the window and was hanging like a fish on a hook outside the window. Thank god the leash was short and he didn't hit the pavement or go near the back wheel, but it still gives me shivers when I think about what could have happened.

Wow thats scary! We have one of those dog guard things to keep the pups in the 'trunk' of the rodeo... but when Eli gets to sit in the backseat I often worry about him getting out the window.. but we usually keep it half way up.

Glad Jasper is ok!!
