Are dog seat belts safe?


Are dog seat belts safe? Dog seat belts, which are usually safety harnesses that have a loop for seat belts to click through, are one way to properly restrain your dog. However, they are not all created equal—some of them can cause your dog to fly off the seat, as was found in a study conducted by the Center for Pet Safety®.


How many deaths do seat belts prevent?

Your seat belt is crucial to surviving a crash. Make it a habit to always buckle up every time. In 2021, half of passenger vehicle occupants who died in crashes were unrestrained. From 1975 through 2017, seat belts have saved an estimated 374,276 lives.
