Improving Car Restraints For Pets

Improving Car Restraints For Pets

 
  

Subaru of America Inc. announced in March that it is partnering with the nonprofit Center for Pet Safety to fund testing of car restraints for pets.

 

The organizations will create standards for testing restraints and announce which products perform best.

 

The Center for Pet Safety previously conducted crash testing on four popular brands of car harnesses for dogs, using a 55 pound dog model in collisions at 30 miles per hour.

 

The center concluded that none of the harnesses provided adequate protection for the dog or humans in the vehicle.

 

It is exciting to know that safer harnesses wll be developed using new safety standards.  Stay tuned.
