There are many different pet carriers and pet seats on the market. There are pro’s and con’s for each option. Firstly, Dog Crates are a viable option for transporting pets in the car. These crates will usually need to be placed in the boot of the car as they are quite large. To see a dog crate, click the link:
Whilst a dog crate offers optimum safety for your pet, most dogs will find them difficult to get used to as they may feel claustrophobic and unsettled. The other downside is that your pooch will not be able to see out of the windows or benefit from good ventilation from air conditioning or open windows.
My dog Scoobie really likes to be able to sit in comfort, see out of windows or snooze in his dog booster car seat. He loves to snooze in the soft lamb’s wool fabric of the Snoozer Lookout booster seat. The Snoozer Lookout utilizes the seat belt of the car to strap it securely in place. It is also designed to give your pooch height so that he/she can see the best views.
If you are in the UK, you will enjoy the Trixie dog car seat that I mentioned above. Trixie is a sister company to Snoozer, so there is no compromise on quality! The Trixie Car Booster Seat Is also lined with wool for your pets comfort, as well as a slit for the cars seat belt to secure the seat.
If you have a medium sized breed, then you may like the Alexia pack down dog car seat. This one is a cheaper option, but we really love it because it flattens to the size of a briefcase for people with busy lifestyles that need a convenient product.
For added safety with the dog booster seat, you can add a dog car harness that will also link with your cars existing seat belt port. To read our dog harness review, click on the link:
The Snoozer Lookout dog booster seat is the best dog car seat that I have ever purchased. I have had many that have been bad quality and not very practical. The Snoozer Lookout dog booster seat provides my dog with comfort and safety, whilst being lightweight, easy to fit, and easy to clean with its removable cover. I found lots of glowing reviews about the Snoozer Lookout. Here’s just one:
“It’s hard to find, even to envision, a car seat for dogs that will boost it, that’s attractive, and safe for the dog to use. The lookout is held to the car seat by the lap part of the seat belt, and a strap, like a leash, hooks from the seat belt to a harness of your doggy. Looks great in the car, easy to put in and take out, washable cover.” Snoozer Lookout Customer at Review Centre.com
We also found some great reviews on the Trixie Dog Car Seat. Here’s one for your reference:
“absolutely wonderful product,wasn’t sure about it and ordered it with some apprehension. i neednt have worried,the product is top quality,well thought out,my dog(maltese) loves it,the raised storage part is great for putting all his things in,and even better for my small dog, he loves going in the car in it so he can look out!the seller together with amazon gave a very prompt speedy service, no negatives at all,wouldn’t hesitate to order from this manufacturer again,if your considering it, go ahead you will not be disappointed, and i have looked into other dog seats eg outward hound etc, they are not a patch on this product,i’m happy my dog is even happier!” R. Uruttia
The selling point for me is that it also has a pull out tray for storing your pets leash, water tray, food, toys and more. There is an extra inexpensive accessory that you can buy that clips onto the top of the Snoozer Lookout so that your dog can have access to his/her food and water tray so that you don’t have to stop your car so often to tend to your pet.

More dog car booster seat tips
Be sure to check the weight of your dog before you buy a booster car seat. You will need to get the right size seat for your pooch so that he/she does not have restricted movement.
Bear in mind how easy the product is to clean, and how it attaches to the interior of the car. Some car seats require headrests to attach the seat straps onto, so this will need to be compatible with your car.
It is a good idea to get a dog car seat that gives your dog height in the car. He/she will be much happier with a better view. If travel sickness is an issue for your pet, then the booster seat will really help to alleviate or even cure this.

Hello. I don’t follow many blogs, but yours is of thefew I follow.Have a great day!
Love the story. I got a dog crate years ago and it was one of the best investments I ever made. Dog Crates are a safe way of transporting your dog in the car, as well as a way of taking him places where he may not be able to run freely. If you properly train your dog to use a dog crate, he’ll think his dog crate is a safe place and will be happy to spend time in his dog crate when needed.
