Definitely Get This Strap

This was a great addition to the harness. It buckles right in to the seat belt and then I use the strong carabiner to clip it to his harness. Great design. Easy to use. Secure

Awful

I bought this for my dog and on the first time she used it she was able to break free from the buckled tether. She pulled herself free. This might be good for smaller dogs, but not for strong larger breeds.

Safety Frrst

My dog love to look outside and we used to pass the seat belt through her harness so that she would sit. when we did any movement would cause her to stop being able to move. I was skeptical because I didn't know if it woukd fit my seat belt but it fit perfectly. and we recently got into a fender bender and my dog wasn't thrown around the car. and instead was fine.

Looked Good

I bought a wire tether for our 45 pound puppy for our truck, but she got tangled in it and I had to stop to untangle before she was hurt. So I like the idea of your tether that wouldn't strangle or injure a leg. Problem is she chewed it in half the first time I used it and she did it in about 3 minutes. It's hard to stop her from chewing when I'm driving. Guess I'll just have to stick with the wire tethers and keep an eye on her. BTW on the question below about recommending this product to a friend, I have to say it depends on the dog.

Does It's Job

The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a swivel anchor to the pup, so it will get twisted during a trip, which means it gets shorter and shorter as the trip goes on. I do like that it hooks to the seatbelt spot since he is heavy enough to trigger being a "passenger" and it turns the airbag warning off. Keeps him safe if I need to stop short and he can't hop out of the window after crazy squirrels!

Pet Safety

This strap clicks right into your seat belt and achieves pet safety when paired with a decent harness. However i found that our large dog gets uncomfortable on longer rides because it restricts movement. Hard to fault that but pets cant understand why they aren't allowed to move around a vehicle! Use it with this in mind

Feels Safe

I feel it keeps my puppies secure and safe. I use it with the kurgo crash tested harnesses

Good Buy

Functions as it should. Clicked in easy to both end seats, couldn’t get it to fit in the middle seat. Has enough length for my dog to be comfortable and safe.

An Inexpensive Purchase To Keep Your Pet Safe!

I had purchased this seat belt for my dog, Daisy, Summer of 2024 from a pet store in Jackson Hole, WY. February of 2025, I partially rolled my car due to icy roads in WA. Daisy had her harness and seat belt on in the backseat. She was completely okay. Daisy is a border collie, Australian shepherd mix and she weighs 45 pounds, for reference. I cannot recommend this product enough! Accidents on the road can happen fast, wear your seat belt and get your pet a seat belt too.

It's just a little short, and I'm working on fixing it for my pupper. But it's well made like all their products and it really does keep my furball from putting her muddy paws on the front seat.

Works Exactly How It Should!

The tether works great along w the harness I purchased as well to go w it. My Airedale puppy has enough room to move and look around but is safely secured in the backseat!

Works Like A Charm

I have a couple of these and they work great and are easy to use and adjust. clever idea using existing seat belt quick connection. it makes it east to move from vehicle to vehicle. Strong and well built.

Decent But Misleading

So an actual seatbelt for a car is, you know, so you don’t fly out the car in the event of sudden breaks or crashes. So when I saw this— in person— and read the actual packaging, I was lead to believe that this was a safety item for the dog. And turns out, now that I came across it again, that it is not a safety item for the dog. I can train my dog to not bother me in the car, but I cannot train them to survive a car accident, and that is what I was lead to believe this product was as on no part of the packaging did it say it was not crash tested. And on that note, that makes this pretty useless. I want my dog to not die. That’s why I got this, and this company is using that sentiment to be misleading in their advertising. It does keep the dog where I put them, but they would do that anyway, and I got this so they would be safe. But apparently they’re not safe when using this.

One of the best things about this, is that it stops the seatbelt chime from dinging when your furry friend is sitting in the front seat. It's also perfect for keeping them out of your lap and from trying to climb out a window. For such a low price, I plan to put one in every car.

Absolute Garbage

After on 6 uses the buckle bent and allowed my dog to become unattached during a ride and created a very unsafe situation
