Safety first! Car safety features are designed for humans, not animals, so there's a real risk for dogs to get serious injuries without the proper protection. Using a dog harness can help to minimize force along the neck in the event of a sudden change of speed. Keeping your dog safely harnessed also prevents them from possibly causing an accident if they get curious and distract you while driving. Always attach on the dog's body.
