A dog harness is recommended to secure your dog in the back seat. If you already have a harness, you can easily just buy the dog leash. You can easily attach this dog leash to the belt in the car. You also regularly see that dogs go into a crate or car cage in the back of the car. This is of course also a possibility.

While driving, there are a number of points that you should pay attention to. Make sure the windows are closed while driving, the wind can cause ear or eye infections. Make sure that your dog is kept on a leash or in a crate in the back at all times. And if you're standing still, make sure never to leave your dog in the car in hot weather, the heat can be fatal.
