Airbag danger for pets

[Catherine]

Seat belts and airbags save lives. They do have a few negatives however. You were right to see the possibilities of danger for a dog. The force of the airbag can cause internal damage. Only a healthy normal sized adult human should sit in the front seat with an airbag.
Dogs can be secured in the back seat where they can ride in comfort. Then they are not at risk of being hurt by an airbag or thrown because they are not properly restrained.

They make many kinds of dog seat belts and harnesses. They make them for all the different sized dogs that we have.

There is just no need to put a dog at risk.
