Two Pet Vehicle Harnesses to Keep Your Pet Safe
Over at Pet Connection, Phyllis DeGioia recently posted Restrained dog survives fatal car crash. Phyllis is editor of Veterinary Partner, the client education web site of the Veterinary Information Network (VIN).

Any pet restraint is better than none. Two harnesses Phyllis recommends are the Solvit Pet Vehicle Safety Harness
(photo above) and the Kurgo Auto Safety Harness we featured in an earlier post.
Her counsel:
The trick is find a harness that your dog doesn't mind going off and on, and one that fits appropriately. Some folks use anchored crates. What you never want to do is tether to a dog's collar because it could injure the neck and in a collision the neck could easily be broken.
As for your cat--confine them in a cat carrier or small crate.
