While your dog may enjoy the feeling of riding in a moving car with his head out of the window, wind whipping through his ears as he feels like the alpha canine of the road, having your dog ride loose in the car can be dangerous for both him and for the owner who’s trying to concentrate on the road.

Fortunately, pet harnesses designed especially for use in the car can comfortably restrain and protect your dog in the case of an accident — while making the ride more pleasant for the driver as well. And the Bergan Dog Auto Harness is a superior example of one of these protective devices.

The Bergan Dog Auto Harness is well made and sturdy, and the design helps to ensure a secure but comfy fit for your dog. The main brace of the harness fits across your dog’s chest and belly, keeping his neck and head free.

Also, the tether of the Bergan Dog Auto Harness clips easily to the car’s existing seatbelts, while leaving your canine with enough room to move around the backseat. Also, both the harness and the tether are adjustable, and the gear is available in a good range of sizes — four total, from Small to X-Large, for dogs from 80-150 lbs.

The price of the Bergan Dog Auto Harness is also reasonable for the quality and convenience of the product. The retail price ranges from about $28-35, depending on the size. And for the pet safety and owner’s peace of mind (and peace of drive!) that the Bergan Dog Auto Harness offers, the cost is a true bargain.

Pros: Durable and sturdy; tether and harness are adjustable for better fit; good range of sizes.

Cons: None.
