{"product_id":"russet-small-dog-booster-car-seat","title":"Russet Dog Booster Seat for Small Dogs, Seat-Belt Loops, Washable Cover","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small dog in a car has two bad options. Loose on the seat, where he slides off at every turn and cannot see anything. Or on your lap, which is worse for both of you. A dog booster seat is the third option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRusset lifts him to window height and holds him there. The car's own seat belt threads through loops at the back, and a short tether inside clips to his harness so he stays put without being shut in. The walls are deep and padded, so when he does settle he has something to lean against rather than an open edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLift it out by the two handles and it is a carrier. Set it on the floor at home and it is a bed, which is usually how it gets used between trips, and is also why the cover unzips and goes in the machine. Built for small dogs, and for the back seat only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Russet works for small dogs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWindow height\u003c\/strong\u003e — he can see out, which is most of what settles a small dog in a car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat-belt loops at the back\u003c\/strong\u003e — the car's own belt holds the base; pull it tight and it will not move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort internal tether\u003c\/strong\u003e — clips to his harness so he cannot climb out and get under your feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep, padded walls\u003c\/strong\u003e — something to lean against instead of an open edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo carry handles\u003c\/strong\u003e — lift it out and it is a carrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubles as a bed on the floor\u003c\/strong\u003e — how it gets used between trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZipped cover, machine wash cold\u003c\/strong\u003e — the inner cushion lifts out separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall dogs: Cavalier, Bichon, Shih Tzu, small terrier, Dachshund\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe car's own seat belt threads through loops at the back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTether\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA short tether inside clips to his harness.
