Pet safety experts of BarkBuckleUp.com teamed up with popular car site Edmunds.com to come up with a list of 10 "pet-safe" cars for your consideration. Christina Selter, founder of Bark Buckle Up, says that even the calmest unrestrained pets can become frightened in a moving vehicle, so the use of restraints is key: "In the event of a sudden stop or accident, the animal can injure other passengers or be thrown through the windshield, then hinder the efforts of rescue workers or even cause another accident by escaping into the street.”

So, in alphabetical order, here are the top 10 recommended vehicles for traveling with your pet and an explanation of the features that make them stand out when it comes to pet safety.
