Adjustable Dog Car Headrest Tether with Swivel Clip

This tether links a dog's harness to a car seat so your dog stays on the seat instead of wandering through the car. A loop goes around the headrest, a slide buckle adjusts the strap length, and a metal swivel clip attaches to your dog's harness. The strap is made of nylon, and it can expand and contract, so it gives a little when your dog shifts position.

It comes in black, gray, bright green and red, and you can order a single tether or a pack of two black tethers. The pair is handy if you have two dogs or want one in each car. Because the clip swivels, the strap does not twist as your dog turns around, and the loop in the strap can be slipped over a hand when you want a short leash on the way from the car.

Attach the clip to a harness rather than a neck collar, since a collar puts pressure on the throat if your dog is stopped suddenly. Adjust the strap so your dog can sit or lie down but cannot jump into the front seat. This tether is not a crash-tested restraint, so use it to manage behavior in the car. Check that the strap reaches from your headrest to your dog before you travel.
