It's something that's been on my mind for awhile, but
Dogster also had an article lately about whether car restraints for dogs are in fact adequate safety devices, or just a placebo. Of course, I have the
EzyDog Chest Plate Harness, which Elka wears on walks (attached to both a leash and her collar, with
Liberty's Attachment, for backup safety) and has worn in the car since we got it. She'd already ridden in the backseat once I'd realized that an air bag could kill a dog. But, was the EzyDog Chest Plate Harness safe enough, or only to prevent driver distractions? Should I look at other options as well?
Then one day I was browsing the
Animal Rescue Site, and lo and behold, I saw the
Bergan Dog Auto Safety Harness, which claimed to be safety rated. It certainly bore investigation! I contacted the
Bergan Pet Products company via their web site, and they were kind enough to provide a harness for me to review.
