My dog is more comfortable riding in a pet seat attached to the golf cart seat, rather than just sitting on the golf cart seat itself. It keeps him from slipping and sliding, and it also keeps his feet and butt from sliding through the crack between the back and bottom seat cushions on the the cart. Pet seats usually have a strap sewn into the seat that can be hooked onto a harness. And they also have straps to secure the the seat to the golf cart
There is at least one pet seat made specifically for golf carts. If you do a google search for “Snoozer Lookout Pet Golf Cart Seat”, several sites will come. If you want to see one in person, I saw the small size version in the pet store down at LSL, but your dog would need the large size, and even that might be too small. I have the Lookout pet seats for my car and they are very high quality, but they are pricey and they are also “booster seats” and I didn’t want my dog to sit up that high in the golf cart.
For the golf cart I went with a less expensive pet seat that I bought at Petsmart. It is designed for a car, but the straps work just as well for securing it to the golf cart. The one I got would definitely be too small for a 30 lb. dog though. I only use the pet seat when I’m riding alone with my dog. When there are two humans onboard my dog sits between us and I roll up a towel and put it in the crack between the seats. I agree with the others, always use a harness when riding in a cart. Even if you don’t have the leash secured to the golf cart, in the event of an accident the leash could get hung up on something and in that case you would not want it attached to his neck via a collar.
