Yes, yes, yes yes. You don't even have to get a 'seat belt' get the dog a harness-make sure it is on tight enough-and slip the car's seat belt through it or use a leash, attach one end to the harness and attach the other to the hooks used for a baby seat. Not only can the dog go through the window in an accident but I know of a dog that flew out an open window when the car went over a bump. After multiple pins in his leg and hundreds of dollars later he is doing ok, but it was completely avoidable! Also works good for dogs that bolt out of the car when you open the door. Parking lots are not safe for a dog!

I bought a car harness for my dog but he hated it and started to suffer from travel sickness, even though I made sure it was not too tight. I could fit three of my fingers between it and him comfortably. He just hated wearing it. Now I put him in the boot and have a guard between the boot and the rear seats and he is fine, hasn't been sick once since I stopped him sitting on the back seat wearing his harness.
I'm sure they are good for most dogs, but not for mine!

It's good for their saftey and yours, especially if you get in an accident. I've heard about accidents where the dog was sent flying from the back seat and they hit someone up front and did some damage, and then there's a bunch of things that could happen to the dog.

The safest way to travel with your dogs would be in a crate bungied or tied down in your car. Sometimes, in an accident, the car doors will pop open and the dog gets freaked out and runs off.

My dog uses one and she's safer than she was before. She actually fell off th seat once when I had to stop quickly. So she is much safer in her "car seat". It hooks on to her collar and she's in a little box type area. I got it from Pet's Mart.

Yeah they do make seat belts just for dogs. I have heard they saved their lifes in serous accidents.

i dont think its fair if ppl make dogs wear seat belts its animal cruilty. i mean its just th same as dogs having to wear clothes like most celebs do to their dogs. its just not fair on them even if it is for their own safety, they cant tell you what they want so u have to guess. but i say they shouldn't wear seat belts

Yes because if you get in a car accident then your dog would be safe.
