Description

Keep in mind that while it might not be illegal to leave your dog in the car on a hot day, it is illegal to mistreat your pet in accordance with the 2006 Animal Welfare Act. When in doubt, and whenever possible, always take your pup with you when you leave the car. A harness that has both car and lead attachment points will make this seamless! Further Reading

While Ruffwear’s Load Up™ Harness has been dynamically (crash) tested under the test conditions of FMVSS 213, the Load Up™ Harness has not been tested against The Center for Pet Safety’s Safety Harness Crash Test Protocol. Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Dog Harness [Most Affordable Dog Harness for Car Travel]: Though it hasn’t been tested by the CPS, this affordable harness may be a good choice for owners with limited budgets. Look for details like a padded chest plate, cushioning to prevent chafing, and durable stitching and materials. We especially love to see a lifetime warranty, as offered by Kurgo and Sleepypod. The Kurgo is a well-made harness designed to restrain your dog during travel. It also doubles as a walking harness. A pawticularly pleasing aspect of this harness’ design is the deep breastplate. If you have a deeper chested dog such as a whippet, greyhound, Visla, or Weimaranar, it can be difficult to find a harness that fits, let alone a safety harness! However, this Bergan auto harness could be just what your deep-chested dog needs.

Your Bag

PLEASE NOTE: Even the sturdiest dog toys are not indestructible, and small bits could be torn off. We recommend buying your dog the right toy, inspecting it regularly and not leaving it with your dog unattended. In the event of damage occuring, the toy should be replaced immediately. The really nifty thing about this harness is that you can take it with you upon reaching your destination and use it as a wearable dog-carrier. Unlike many of the alternatives, the brand offer an impressive lifetime warranty for complete peace of mind. Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error

As you would expect from such a strong harness, it’s not the lightest or most convenient for walking. It can still be used for short walks though – and even has reflective strips for improving night-time visibility. I’d be wary of it being too hot in warm weather though. It’s also probably too restrictive for long walks. Aside from selecting a harness that’s been crash-test certified by the CPS, you’ll want to look for one that satisfies a few additional characteristics and features. Some of the most important considerations include:Unlike with a walking harness, their weight is not a concern here, so the right harness for your dog on a lead may not be secure enough for them in the car. Seatbelt Fastening MGA Research performed three separate dynamic tests of the Load Up™ Harness with 25-pound, 45-pound, and 75-pound dog-mannequins. It was a request we heard often from our customers: "a vehicle restraint harness, but constructed from quality materials... and one that's comfortable and my dog wouldn't mind wearing." However, the alternative is a harness which allows you to use the permanently fitted seatbelt passed through a loop on the harness. Some people prefer this, especially for stronger dogs, as it gives them less leeway and opportunity to bounce. In all three of Ruffwear’s dynamic sled (crash) tests of the Load Up™ Harness, the dog mannequin stayed in an upright position and on the seat.

The EzyDog is made from a combination of aluminum hardware and strong seatbelt meshing. This means it’sstrong enough to stop a dog from being catapulted during a collision, although it’s important to note that it was only tested for dogs weighing up to 75lbs. It also has a padded chest for both comfort and to provide your dog with extra protection. The canine restraint was dynamically tested under the conditions outlined in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 Child Restraint Systems (FMVSS 213). The canine restraint was installed on the canine crash test mannequin per the manufacturer’s (Ruffwear) instructions and then secured to the test bench restraint system. FMVSS 213 employs a standard bench seat that represents the rear seating environment of an automobile. The seat bench and add on restraint was then subjected to the 30 mph generic frontal crash pulse detailed in FMVSS 213. Also, remember that a car harness won’t protect your seats. If you’re worried about upholstery or leather getting scratched, consider getting a car seat cover too.

Help and Resources

Driving or riding in a car is a dangerous practice in any situation, and it is probably the most dangerous activity in which most people engage on a regular basis. But adding a furry four-footer to the mix makes you more likely to have an accident, primarily because dogs have a tendency to distract drivers. For complete peace of mind, the Center For Pet Safety has tested this dog car harness and it passed with flying colours.

For the restraints, we enlisted the help of Doris the poodle to judge ease of use. Then we tried universal-fit dog guards in two cars – a Land Rover Discovery 4 and Vauxhall Astra – to see if they fitted well in a pair of quite different vehicles. We judged their ‘dog proof’ abilities, how easy they were to fit, and whether they damaged the car and remained rattle-free on a journey. Final factor was price. Verdict But here at Doggy Dream Team we don’t like the idea of ‘basic’ road safety. We want our fur-family members to be as safe as our kids, which is why we looked into the best travel harnesses for medium-sized dogs.

What to Look For

Fortunately, there are ways you can help mitigate these dangers and keep your beloved bestie safe when riding around town. In fact, dogs not only raise your risk of having an accident, they can make accidents more dangerous too. So, you have to keep safety in mind! Look for harnesses that have dual functionality. Some of the best car harnesses are easy to take out of the car, allowing them to be used as a normal harness. This makes it much easier to get your dog strapped in, especially if you must let her hop in and out several times over the course of a single trip. Not crash tested and is designed as a restraint to stop the dog wandering, rather than protect your dog in a crash.
