Letting your dog roam loose in the car might seem harmless, but it actually puts both you and your dog at serious risk. Here's what every pet owner should know before the next trip.

1. Airbags Can Be Deadly for Dogs

Just like small children, dogs should never sit in the front seat. Airbags can seriously injure them in a crash.

2. Sudden Braking Is a Major Threat

An unrestrained dog can be thrown forward during sudden stops, leading to injury or even ejection.

3. Your Interior Suffers

Dog nails, drool, shedding, and dirt quickly wear down your seats and floors. Using a protective mat saves you money in the long run.

4. Loose Dogs Distract the Driver

Even well-behaved dogs can become restless, bark, or climb into the front seat. This raises the risk of accidents.

5. The Safer Option: a Contained, Comfortable Space

Create a designated dog zone with a KRODEX Extender, seatbelt harness, and breathable barrier.
