Adjustable Dog Car Seat Belt Tethers, 2 Pack, Black

This pack gives you two black nylon tethers for the car. Each one wraps around a vehicle headrest, closes with a buckle and ends in a zinc alloy swivel snap that clips to your dog's harness. The straps are tangle-free and slide to the length you need, so one tether covers a range of dog sizes.

Overall length adjusts from 18 in (46 cm) up to 30 in (77 cm), and the loop that goes around the headrest stretches from 13.5 to 21 in (34.3 to 54 cm). The swivel snap turns 360 degrees, which keeps the strap from twisting when your dog shifts position. Take the tether off the headrest and it works as a plain hand-held leash, or you can use it to tie your dog to a tree or other strong post when you need a short-term anchor.

Clip it to a harness, not to a collar, because a collar puts all the force on the neck. Shorten the strap so your dog can sit or lie down but cannot jump into the front seat, and check the buckle and snap before every drive. No crash rating is given for this product, so think of it as a tether that limits movement, and use a crash-tested harness if you want that kind of protection. Rinse any mud off the nylon and let it air dry.
