Ensure your dog travels safely & comfortably in the car with a Load Up Dog Car Harness!  This car restraint dog harness is easy to put on, comfortable on long journeys, and has been vehicle crash tested.

Size

The Ruffwear Load Up dog harness is a travel dog harness designed to safely restrain dogs in vehicles by attaching to the existing seat-belt via a universal fit seat belt loop.

Not only does this harness keep dogs secure during sudden vehicle movements, it also secures them in the backseat so they can't reach and distract drivers.  Built with strength-rated hardware and components, the Load Up Harness has been successfully tested to withstand the rigors of a vehicle crash test.   

Although the harness restricts movement in the vehicle, it still allows your dog to stand up, sit or sleep as they please.  This safety dog harness is easy to put on and adjust, and is comfortable for dogs to wear during extended travel and can be left on for bathroom breaks and rest stops.  Note there isn't a separate back leash attachment on this leash so you will need a collar to clip a leash.

It's important to note that the harness is only for use in the rear passenger seats (not front seats).

PLEASE NOTE: there is no dog leash attachment point on this harness, so it isn't designed as a walking harness.  You may be able to attach a leash with karabiner to the back loop.

    Quality and safety in one

    I bought a medium for my lanky border collie, and I'm very impressed with the quality of the construction and material. It's very good at keeping my pup secured on the backseat (in combination with a dog hammock) and has been used for several 2-4 hour drives now which she has been able to comfortably lie down and sleep in. Makes me feel like she is secure and safe if anything were to happen.
