Other dog harnesses have non-elastic straps, which can hurt a dog when you stop short. This harness&#8217;s straps have an elastic buffer so there&#8217;s a little give, and it isn&#8217;t so harsh on your dog&#8217;s body when you stop short. The 360-degree swivel snap allows your dog a full range of motion in the backseat. The adjustable buckle system is easy to use and anti-slip, keeping your dog secure for the whole trip.<\/p>\n<p>Pros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elastic buffer design<\/li>\n<li>360-degree swivel snap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May not tighten enough for really tiny dogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"title\" class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\">BWOGUE Dog Safety Seat Belt\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BWOGUE-Restraint-Adjustable-Restraints-Seatbelts\/dp\/B078G6MKTN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BWOGUE-Restraint-Adjustable-Restraints-Seatbelts\/dp\/B078G6MKTN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='BWOGUE Dog Safety Seat Belt ' alt='BWOGUE Dog Safety Seat Belt ' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41RNuJBxVRL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BWOGUE-Restraint-Adjustable-Restraints-Seatbelts\/dp\/B078G6MKTN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">More Range, Less Tangling<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This innovative dog harness attaches to the top head rest and stays out of your dog's way so they are less bothered by it.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Most Freedom<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BWOGUE-Restraint-Adjustable-Restraints-Seatbelts\/dp\/B078G6MKTN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>For dogs that have issues with car harnesses that attach to the bottom seat belt clip, this is a great option from BWOGUE. With dog harnesses that connect to the bottom seat belt clip, it is easier for some dogs to get tangled in the belt. Also, some dogs, especially bigger ones, are bothered by the belt clip when they try to sit down. This agitation can increase over the length of a car ride and prove to be quite a problem for you when you need to get your unhappy dog out of the car. This harness attaches to the top head rest and stays out of your dog&#8217;s way, making for less squirming and whining. The strong nylon belt and hard metal buckles will keep your dog in the seat but are very easy to undo when you want to take your dog out.<\/p>\n<p>Pros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Belt attaches to top head rest<\/li>\n<li>Less tangling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy chewers might chew through it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I attached the belt to my dog&#8217;s collar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please don&#8217;t. Attaching the belt to the dog&#8217;s collar instead of the harness is very dangerous for your dog. The dog can slip out when you stop short or get choked by the collar pulling on their neck. Only use the included harness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will the harness protect my dog in the event of a car crash?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A car harness for a dog is akin to a seat belt for a human. It will prevent the dog from flying forward into the back of the front seat or through the windshield. However, it is just a belt. It&#8217;s not a force field. So obviously in more serious crashes, it&#8217;s not going to completely protect your dog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will the buckle insert at the end of the belt fit in my car&#8217;s seat belt clip?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For harnesses with belts that attach to seat belt clips, the inserts are designed to be universal for all cars. However, we have found there to be exceptions to this rule. So check the product page before you order, as they typically list the vehicles that aren&#8217;t compatible. If you have one of these vehicles, there is the option of a belt that attaches to the top head rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vastar Adjustable Dog Car Harness Vastar has made an excellent dog car harness that will keep your dog safe in the backseat during car trips.
