The year is 1968 and the first seat belt law is passed in the United States. This federal law requires manufacturers to fit seat belts into vehicles.
Fast forward 52 years to now- Every state but New Hampshire enforces some sort of seatbelt law for adults.
Although over 90% of front seat passengers in America wore their seatbelts last year, this life-saving habit is rarely practiced for our pet passengers. According to AAA/Kurgo Pet Passenger Safety Study, only 16% of people secure or restrain their dogs when driving.
Even after decades of seatbelt research, tests, statistics and laws proving that seatbelts save human lives, our pets' safety is still just an afterthought.
Fortunately, the drivers of the following three car accidents make up some of the small percentage of dog owners who travel with their dogs in crates.
Real dogs, real stories.
