A Small Dog Car Seat Is The Safest Place For Your Little Pooch

When your little pooch is properly restrained, a small dog car seat is the best protection when traveling in an automobile.

You may think… “oh, I’m only going a short distance… just a quick trip to the local convenience store… my baby will be ok.”

So you may just jump in your car with your dog unrestrained…

But while your seat belt holds you securely… without a small dog car seat… your poor little doggie may be tossed back and forth.

Does Your Little Pooch
Jump Around The Car?

Or for a better view and more of a feeling of security, they nose their way into your lap while you’re driving.

Either of these conditions can be very dangerous.

It’s a well known fact that most accidents happen close to home. And that passengers… human and canine… can suffer serious injuries in a car crash even when the vehicles are traveling at low speeds.

In a 30 mile per hour crash an unrestrained small dog weighing 15 lbs could strike the windshield, the back of the seat, or another passenger at a force of 300 lbs.

Without a car seat, a force like that could result in some very serious injuries for your dog as well as passengers.

Keep Your Doggie Safe
With A Small Dog Car Seat

Doesn’t it make sense that if we buckle up our human passengers for safety… that we’d want to provide a small dog car seat for our dog as well?

Wouldn’t it seem totally irresponsible and dangerous for a parent to let their toddler crawl all around their vehicle while they were driving?

If you think about it… isn’t it just as irresponsible and dangerous when we don’t restrain our small dogs in car seats while we’re driving?

The small dog car seat is the perfect restraining device for pets under 25 lbs. In addition to safely restraining our dogs… a car seat acts like a doggie booster seat.

So now, not only is your pooch safely restrained… a car seat also raises him to a comfortable height so that he can see out the window.

And we all know how much dogs love to look out the window!

You’ll be surprised how quickly most small dogs calm down once they have a comfortable dog car seat to sit or lie down in that also allows them to look out the window.

My mom’s Chihuahua, Paco, used to complain constantly when he used to travel in the car in his dog carrier.

Now he can’t wait… as soon as he gets in the car he jumps right into his small dog car seat… and waits to be buckled up.

No more whining for this little pup… now when he’s traveling around town it almost looks like he’s wearing a great big doggie grin.

And mom’s also much happier when she’s driving around town with her lil’ baby safe and secure in his dog car seat.

Does Your Small Dog Like To Ride Shotgun In The Front Seat?

Air bags deploy at speeds over 140 miles per hour and they can be just as deadly to our dogs as to our small children.

So make sure you select a small dog car seat that’s designed for use in the back seat of your vehicle.

If your pooch currently rides with you in the front seat she may complain a little until she adjusts to the new arrangement... don’t give in… and take comfort in knowing that she’s as safe as she can be in the back seat.

Do you have a little doggie that’s so attached to you that she won’t settle down unless she’s right next to you?

Although not as safe as riding in the back seat… a console small dog car seat… may be a good compromise.

If you have a mini van, SUV or a vehicle that has bucket seats… your pooch can rest comfortably on the console between the passenger and driver seat.
