Pet safety in cars

Did you see Friday's BBC One Show about dogs being unrestrained in cars? I'll upload a clip as soon as I can, but people are asking about where to find the petition to make it against the law to have dogs unrestrained, so here is a link to the existing petition. Does anyone know if this petition, if successful would trigger a parliamentary debate - don't you have to set up a petition on the Number 10 system for that to work? I've applied for a joint one for car restraints and dogs left in hot cars. Will take a while, but pretty certain other petitions will not work.

Please note it's already been pointed out that the website hosting this petition sells electric collars, choke chains etc which is very disappointing as you know our stance on aversive training methods. But the petition is still a good idea. Let's hope they evolve and change their ways.

Here's a link for crash-tested car harnesses. Will add more links for other products as people tell me about them.

And of course, the fantastic http://www.safedog.co.uk/cratesizes.htm who do crash tested crates and harnesses.

Hello to anyone who heard the item on Talk Radio Europe this morning - sorry it took me a bit longer to get the links online. Husband had made me breakfast so had to delay going online!
