Drive™ Dog Car Harness

I bought one of these after my dog slid off the seat after a short stop to avoid an accident. Her leash was attached to her collar and was tethered to the seat belt. I’m lucky she wasn’t hurt!. I gave it to a dog walker who was taking her in the car. When we parted company she never gave it back…so I’m buying another one. My only complaint…the initial adjustments are not well-explained to anyone without an engineering degree; but once its done, using it is a breeze.I bought the short leash with the shock absorber to use with it to walk her to and from the car.

This is my second DRIVE harness. My late pit-mix Lilah had one and I simply loved it. My friends joke and call me "Safety Queen", and this harness appealed to my need to make sure my family members , including our dogs are safe. I am prior Law Enforcement and have seen how dangerous an unrestrained pet can be in a vehicle. Safety of the driver and passengers as well as that of the pet are paramount when it comes to traveling in a vehicle. We have long known that the laws of physics dictate an object in motion will continue moving until it hits something to stop it. That something could be a windshield, a seat or even a person. It is so important to keep our pets and ourselves safe in case of a wreck. The DRIVE harness is crash tested and create using the same materials as car seatbelts, this gives me confidence that my dog will be as safe as can be if I were to be in an accident. The other important thing is a restrained pet is less likely to bolt when first responders arrive. The last thing a cop, EMT or fire fighter want is a dog lose at the scene, possibly getting hurt , lost or even killed in traffic. A restrained animal makes it safer for those responding to render aid to all involved quickly without having to figure out what to do with the dog etc. Now that we have Mandy, a much smaller pit-mix, we had to get a smaller harness and I am so happy to have her safe for traveling. I feel so strongly that pets should be restrained that I will be passing on Lilah's larger…
