Canine Auto Safety Harness The Canine Auto Safety Harness is a must for ANY dog that travels in a car, no matter how short or long the trip. Unrestrained animals are at risk of injury or death to themselves and passengers in a car. I'm pretty sure that my 68lb Pitbull mix would do some serious if not fatal damage to my neck were she to slam into the back of my head during an accident or a sudden stop. Below are some real statistics from NCSA?s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Annual Report File for 2003: Though these statistics refer to human injuries and deaths, pets are equally at risk when riding in vehicles. - On an average, there are more than 6 million car accidents on the roads of the US, annually.
- More than 3 million people get injured due to car accidents, with more than 2 million of these injuries being permanent.
- There are in excess of 40,000 deaths due to car accidents every year.
- 56 percent of the occupants killed in fatal crashes were not restrained, i.e., they were not wearing safety belts or not properly restrained in child-safety seats, etc.
- The chance of a serious injury is higher when an occupant is not restrained, among other things, the chances of being ejected out of the vehicle increases.
- Fatality rates among non-ejected occupants are dramatically lower as compared with the ejected occupants in the same crash.
- If you choose to disregard this safety precaution you or your pet may pay the ultimate price.

Disclaimer: It is very difficult to know exactly what happens to a dog in a vehicle crash since the testing tools available in the industry are very limited. In our opinion, a dog that is harnessed reduces that chance of the pet being injured by hitting other objects or occupants in the vehicle. It should also protect a dog from injuries associated with sudden stops and starts.
