Canine Seat Belt

We bought this for our dogs because we simply wanted to play it safe. It took a while for them to get used to, but it paid off when we had to stop short one day. They were held on the back car seat and they were fine.

Pros: for that "you never know" situation

Cons: takes a while to get used to

This harness lets me take my dog, Sam, in the car safely. It fits like a regular harness, but has a loop on the back through which you put the car's seat belt. It keeps Sam in the back seat, but lets him change positions. It can be used as a walking harness also.

It took a little getting used for Sam. At first, he was getting his legs tangled in the car's seat belt that was attached to the harness. When he gets excited and active in the car, he can still get a leg tangled sometimes. Also, he has stepped on the "button" where you attach the car's seat belt buckle. This releases the buckle and he can then pull the harness so that the car's seat belt comes out of the harness loop. Then you have a free moving dog, though he is still in the harness.

Pros: Safe for dog, driver & passengers; Can be used for walking too

Cons: Dog can be tangled in car's belt; dog may get out
