Dog Seat Belts...Protect Your FamilyDog seat belts should always be used when traveling with your doberman. Crash tests conducted by IMMI determined that a pets weight multiplied by 30 would be equal to the force generated in a 30 m.p.h. collision. In other words, a 40 pound dog would be propelled with a deadly force of 1200 pounds. If you are involved in a collision, your unbelted canine companion will become a projectile inside your vehicle. Upon impact the dog may slam into you, your family or some other part of the car interior...resulting in serious injury or death. Tragedies like this can easily be prevented if the proper pet restraints were used. Driver distraction is also a major issue when traveling with "loose" pets. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, driver distraction accounts for approximately 1.2 million automobile crashes per year.
