Adjustable Dog Car Seat Belt Tether with Snap Hook

This tether links your dog's harness to the car's seat belt buckle so your dog stays in place on the back seat. One end has a metal snap hook for the harness ring. The other end has a flat metal tongue, about 1.6 in (4 cm) long and 0.8 in (2 cm) wide, that plugs into the seat belt receptacle. A plastic slide in the middle lets you shorten or lengthen the strap.

The strap is PP webbing, in black, red, blue, purple, pink or grass green. There are also two-belt options, a blue and pink pair, and a set, if you want a spare or one for each car.

Set the length so your dog can sit or lie down but cannot climb into the front or reach the door. Clip it to a harness, not a collar, so pulling puts less stress on the neck. Click the tongue into the buckle until it locks, and give the strap a tug before you set off.

Check the webbing, hook and slide for fraying or wear before every drive, and replace the tether if anything looks worn. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean and air dry.
