Seat belts or Guards?

[Allicia]

Which is better or safer for my dog. She is 25lbs and likes to look out the windows. when she is in the seatbelt she pulls it and that concerns me, but i dont mind her sitting in the passenger seat when i am the only one driving... any suggestions??

You dog should either ride in a carrier or with a seatbelt and harness. This is especially important if the dog is in the front where they might interfere with driving.

Don't let them ride with their head outside the window since they may be injured by debris from the road. You may want to disable the airbag on the passenger side similar to doing this if a small child is in the front seat.
