Dog seat belt harness or crate? Please provide reasoning for your answer. Thank you.
Answer
Both options are safe for the dog, provided the crate is adequately tethered inside the car so it can't become a projectile in a crash.
However, I'd go with the dog seatbelt because the dog may be calmer if he can see you and be near you. Also, if it's a large dog and you don't have a station wagon, SUV or van, you may find that a crate will not fit in your car.
The only plus to the crate is that if he is carsick or so anxious that he has diarrhea, it's easier to clean the crate than the car.
ETA: If this dog you're adopting is not already acclimated to a crate, you need to be careful introducing him to it as part of his first car ride. If he doesn't like car travel, you're going to have a very hard time getting him to accept the crate after the ride home, as he will associate it with a very stressful experience.
The crate is supposed to be his safe, protected place. It should be introduced carefully, calmly and happily, i.e. in a circumstance in which acceptance is likely.

What kind of Vehicle do you use to cart around your Dogs?

I current looking for a New or Used car that gets around 30mpg. I take my two dogs to the local dog park about three days a week. Which kind of vehicle should I get? I am currently looking at a new Chevy HHR. But I also took a look at a few Focus, wagons today.
Ya it could be in the car section. But I want to know what dog people use.
I have a 25Lb Mini Schnauzer and a 50Lb Catahola Leopard dog.
Answer
I have a big conversion van. But, my dogs are always secured in a crate or in a seat belt harness. I would recommend something, but you didn't say what kind of dogs you have. How big, etc.... The only thing that makes me mad is when I'm driving on the road and see some stupid pet owner with their dogs unsecured in the open back of a pickup truck. What if the dogs jump out? What kind of ear problems do they end up with? What if they have a car accident, and the dog is thrown out of the bed? Now, I have seen one owner who had his dog in the open bed of his pickup, but it was in one of those metal dog kennel cage things. Now, you know that guy cares about his dog's safety. What ever you decide, just think of the safety of your pet.
Good Luck
