I used to work as a paramedic and I can tell you that the kind of force that occurs during an MVA at speeds over 35mph would do some real damage to a dog on a loose tether. And pets that are loose in a vehicle are....well, it's just very sad. They become a projectile within the vehicle.

My baby loves to go for rides around town but I could never forgive myself if I took her anywhere else not properly strapped in.
That dosent work for every one especially dogs who get car sick. The right tether will keep them pretty darn safe from flying around.With carriers they can be slammed into the side and injure themselves so there is no perfect solution.
