Mr Woof is fairly little too, but I believe the air bag can make the passenger seat unsafe for dogs (like it is for children).
I’ve been trying to figure out if it would be unsafe for a cat in a carrier, but the info I find is all self-contradictory AI garbage and clickbait websites copying each other rather than anything that seems like it is actually trustworthy.
I’m not sure if this is best practice. But when Melbcat goes in the car I put her carrier side-on in the back seat behind the driver and use the bottom of the seatbelt to secure it.
That’s always been Miss Meow’s position. I believe either there or on in the footwell behind the front seats is the best place, but I won’t have any back seats in the new vehicle. If the front seat is safe for her that would work well, otherwise she will need to be strapped down in her carrier in the back. She’s going to hate it either way, although the sedatives the vet gave us should help.
I’ve got a harness and a clip leash that clicks into the passenger seat belt receiver, but also my dog is little.
