Dog Car Harnesses

Fitting a dog car harness is simple and ensures your pet’s comfort and safety. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Measure your dog’s chest girth and weight to choose the correct harness size.

Step 2: Adjust the harness straps to ensure a snug but comfortable fit — there should be enough room to slide two fingers between the harness and your dog’s body.

Step 3: Secure the harness around your dog’s chest and shoulders, ensuring it sits securely without restricting movement.

Step 4: Double-check all buckles and straps to make sure they are secure before attaching the harness to a seat belt.

To properly fit a dog car harness:

Place the harness over your dog’s head or step your dog into the harness, depending on the design.

Fasten the chest strap and adjust the shoulder and chest straps for a snug fit.

Make sure the harness doesn’t rub or chafe your dog and that they can move comfortably while being securely restrained.

Using a dog car harness keeps your pet safe while travelling. Here's how to use it effectively:

Put the harness on your dog as described above.

Attach the harness to your car's seat belt system using the built-in attachment points or a compatible seat belt restraint.

Ensure your dog is comfortably seated in the back seat, away from airbags.

Periodically check the harness during travel to ensure it remains secure.

A dog car harness works like a seatbelt for your dog. It keeps your pet securely restrained in the car, preventing them from moving around or being thrown forward in case of sudden braking or an accident.

The harness is attached to your car’s seat belt system, either directly or with a seat belt tether.

It distributes force across your dog’s chest and shoulders, reducing the risk of injury during travel.

By keeping your dog secure, it also prevents driver distractions, ensuring a safer journey for everyone.

Attaching a dog car harness to your car is straightforward:
