"Beth In Alaska"

I was upset that the hardware on the dog seatbelt failed so easily with
such a small dog.


I've looked at a lot of the "dog seatbelts" out there, and could tell
simply by doing so that most of them are crap, with cheap hardware which
won't withstand real stressing. The other problem with the harness
demonstrated was also perfectly obvious to me when examining that type of
car restraint - anyone with half a grain of logic should be able to tell
that the long strap going from the harness to the seat belt won't prevent
the dog from flying forwards off the seat (as the video so horribly shows).

IOW, the type of harness demonstrated isn't intended for anything but
restraining the dog from moving around the car and distracting the driver.
