Elastic Dog Car Seat Belt Tether with Reflective Strip

This tether connects your dog's harness to a car's seat belt buckle. One end has a metal snap hook for the harness ring and the other has a plug-in tongue that clicks into the belt receptacle. In between is a section of stretchy elastic with a reflective strip, plus an adjustable slide so you can set the length.

The belt is nylon webbing with zinc alloy hardware and a POM buckle, and the pattern is thermal-transferred onto the webbing. It is sold in many looks, from plain black, red, orange, gray, green, blue and navy blue to bold patterned designs.

Length adjusts from about 21.3 in (54 cm) to 35.4 in (90 cm) with the elastic relaxed, and it stretches further, up to 58.3 in (148 cm). Pick a length that lets your dog sit or lie down but keeps it from reaching the front seats or the door. The tether clips to a harness, not to a collar, because pulling on the neck is hard on a dog.

Check the stitching, hook and buckle for wear before each trip, and replace the tether if the webbing frays. Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry.
