Best Car Seat?

Basenji Talk
  • I know I am preparing way in advance, but like I said before our new addition will be here in late January/February :)

    I was wondering what kind of car apparatuses you may use for your basenji?

  • I always had mine in a crate when in the car

  • A crate is probably best, particularly with a pup. I have used the harnesses that attach to seat belts, and with my most recent boy I used one of those "hammocks" that attach to the headrests. He had a crate phobia, but was happy in his hammock. As far as protection in a crash, I don't think anything is foolproof, and the aftermath of the accident will vary. You don't want a loose dog on the highway, but you don't want one trapped in a crate if the car goes into water or there is a fire. Not possible to guard against all eventualities, but for most a crate is likely best.

  • Traveling alone, I would go with the seatbelt harness thing. It gives your dog freedom to move around, but keeps him from hopping from seat to seat. My dog gets carsick, so we never take him anywhere without someone else to catch his throw up (he knows to barf in the barf bucket). He can last about a half hour on his medicine and then he gets antsy

  • Crate is best, in my opinion

    oh - should add that the white pine people have samoyeds and there is no bleed from the collars onto the white coats. and my bearded collie friends have them and swear there is less hair breakage.

    I remembered that she gets car sick, so she will probably get bus sick too.

    @MacPack: There was a black & white basenji in an ad for those swim-current pools a couple of years ago, he was running along the side of it. Just a glimpse. I posted about that one on the forums in this area, I think. Someone else posted a link to the video. :) Pretty sure I titled it "Is that a B I see?"
