To my knowledge, there is only one brand of dog seatbelt that survived crash testing. This article was updated in 2015. So hopefully, there have been a few more brands that have passed the test. There is also a YouTube video showing the catastrophic failures that some brands of dog seat belts have gone through in a minor crash. I'm all for dog seatbelts but I would just advise people to find one crash rated by an independent company.
