These nifty accessories might help make life easier when traveling together with your canine.For the smaller dogs that aren't quite large enough to look out the window and enjoy all of what it really way to be considered a dog, there are many dog child car seats available. You will find types that suit in between the bucket seats of cars and SUV's and even ones which have straps to adjust to the leading and back of the seats. Imagine being able to put your pet in the own little seat so he can keep an eye out the window while you drive. These neat little devices also provide an extremely comfy area for your dog while being easily washable and saving your seats in the dreaded dog hair.You will find booster seats available that provide an additional 7"-9" of height, along with a soft place to take it easy on the journey. For that bigger dogs you will find big seats as well. Many people use these larger seats for multiple dogs of promising small to medium size.There are a few things to know before choosing a dog child car seat:1. ComfortIf your dog isn't comfortable.....if the seat height isn't in the right level...your pet isn't going to wish to stay put. So ensure that you find out what your pet needs, may it be a booster or perhaps a seat that is adjustable. Also, if you are planning on the long trip, some dog child car seats provide a tray to hold food and water or any other toys or treats you may need.2. MaterialYour dog child car seat needs to clean easy and must breath. You are going to wish to prevent the car seat from being a breading ground for fleas in your car right? Search for material that will use the dryer and washer without any problems...or vacuum easy.3. Most important,....SAFETYDog child car seats offer a place for your pet to feel at ease while you are driving, which in turn reduces driver distractions. There'd be nothing worse than engaging in an accident from your dog running all over the car. There are even harnesses that you could and SHOULD buy and employ.. They are like seat belts for the dog. Make sure when you are picking out a dog child car seat you get one which has holes for a harness. Many people not just make their kids wear a seatbelt because of the law, they are doing it first for that safety of the child. I understand most people who own dogs consider them their children too.Do your homework and take some measurements of the dog before you purchase. You might also wish to search for patterns that will compliment your vehicle, today manufactures offer many different pattern styles. I would suggest looking online before going to the pet stores, you will get more variety.
