Dog Seat Belts & Dog Harnesses: a Review
Dog seat belts & Dog Harnesses are a really great invention for pets that travel with their humans. You wouldn’t dream of driving without a seat belt, so why would let your dog go without?
It’s not safe to let a dog hang his head out the window without any restraints. In fact, it’s downright dangerous.
Even a mild impact can cause injuries to unrestrained animals.
Harness Dog Car Safety Seat Belt System
This harness performs double duty as a car restraint and a walking harness. It’s made from tough nylon that clips easily onto a regular seat-belt. You can even unclip it and then attach your dog’s leash to it.
Best of all, the harness fits so well that you can just clip your leash to the sturdy metal ring when you get to your destination instead of having to change harnesses before you get out of the vehicle.

Pet Vehicle Safety Harness
If your dog likes to pull and tug at his harness in the car, you’re going to need something a little more heavy-duty, like the Solvit Pet Vehicle Safety Harness.
It’s made from black nylon, but it also has a padded, mesh chest area to hold back escape artists. The small version works best on smaller dogs less than 20 pounds, but there is one for bigger dogs, like Golden Retrievers.

Traveling Dog Car Harness
For ultimate comfort, the Good Pet Stuff Traveling Harness provides plenty of faux sheepskin padding for your pet. The straps are also made extra-wide so they don’t dig into the dog’s skin.
Snap-lock buckles are simple to secure and unlock. Your dog won’t be able to go anywhere, but he won’t want to once he is strapped in to this harness. Also has In-seat storage space; with attachable food and water bowl!

Automobile Zip-Line for Dogs
Here’s something a little different. Rather than attach to a seat-belt, this “Kurgo Automobile Zip-Line for Dogs” clips onto a nylon line that is stretched from one side of the car to the other. A nylon webbed line simply attaches between the two rear seat-belts or any other two fixed points, creating a tether run.
This secure line allows the dog freedom to roam in the backseat of the car and allows the driver to focus on the road ahead thus reducing driver distraction. The dog is able to move around in the backseat without being able to climb into the front.
