Safer pets: Yeah, that's the ticket, a seatbelt for pets. True, the QuickStay Seat Belt is going to put an end to most pets' favorite thing - hanging out the window with tongue out and ears flapping - but it also keeps them safe with a shock-absorbing design that increases control and reduces the risk of neck injury. Plus, the belt can double as a traffic leash. The other benefit is that it keeps Fido from jumping all over you while you're trying to drive. It's $13.95 for small dogs, $15.95 for the big guys at Web site.
