SherpaCrash-Tested Multipurpose Seatbelt Dog Harness - Black, Large

I needed this to keep my Australian/border collie mix puppy in his seat. It is easy to use and has kept him in his seat instead of in my lap while I am trying to drive. It is adjustable and it sould last hisl lifetime. He only wears it in the vehicle.

Purchased this for my pup when I go on longer road trips so she’s safer. The sizing of this harness was a little tricky for my thicker pittie. The straps also seemed to be an issue as they would slip and adjust. I added big safety pins to keep them in place so the straps wouldn’t slip which seems to be working. Otherwise, the harness seems to work as it should. My dog also seems comfortable in it.

My 60 lb lab/hound has worn out a few car harnesses. This one is holding up well. The straps need frequent tightening but she pulls really hard so not unexpected. Wish there was a better strap lock but this is the best so far

The harness function alone worked well. Upon adding the car seatbelt it didn't hold up. My golden doodle was able to immediately slip out. It took quit a while to strap him in as well. Tried several different ways to tie him down. Just too time consuming, to not work. Very disappointed, it appeared to be a great safety option. Would not recommend.

I was looking for a safety harness for my dog as he likes to ride in my truck, but slips around way too much. I ordered this with anticipation that may work, but it fit perfectly and is very well constructed and as you can see in the photo, my dog loves it, he actually rides more. He feels more secure and isn’t falling around in the truck.

I am not the type of person to write reviews. I think the last time I wrote a review was about a decade ago, so this should give you an idea of how much I dislike the product.I bought multiple harnesses for my 90 pound Labrador Retriever and my 80 pound American Staffordshire Terrier but they barely lasted me about a month. The straps tend to get loose as they wear them and it is simple enough to just tighten them but it is a nuisance to constantly need to do that. I ultimately ended up returning two harnesses and kept one because it was made out of good material and gave it the benefit of the doubt. But the seller only refunded ONE harness and charged me for the other harness claiming they never received the second harness. I reached out to the seller but was ignored.Now I am out the cost of the harness I kept but can't use anymore because the straps keep loosening and the price of a harness I returned but not credited for. Overall, the material of the items were good quality and when the harness was on, my pups seems comfortable and secure. For that reason I think it is fair to give the product itself three stars. The constant loosening of the straps is such design flaw that in the long run will not work for my pups. However, the seller charging me for an item I returned and then disregarding me when I reached out is atrocious. They charged me for the more expensive item of the two returned which makes me feel like it was intentional fraud. Do not buy this harness.

Several of the reviews mentioned the adjustments was difficult so I pulled the last wrap out of the buckles and then adjusted all four buckles and it was a breeze. When all the adjustments were correct, I slide the belt back into the last wrap and with no worries. Dog has been walking on a harness for several months and he steps into this harness like its old hat. I pull it up and lock the plastic buckle and then use the leash with a caribiner which plugs right into the seat belt receptical. I use this in the back seat area of an extended cab pickup with the seats folded up. He has room to walk around and sit and lays very comfortably. Today we took him out for a couple hour ride and he lay down and stayed there the whole trip. The harness is very strong and I am convinced both my dog and myself are safe using this product. I have been worried about having an 80 pound object free to fly around the truck in an accident and coming forward. This harness completely eliminates this worry and I think will keep the dog very safe as well. Win Win

I got this harness because the handles on the back of it were really sturdy and would be good to use with a seatbelt. I have another harness for my much smaller other dog that I’ve been using for about 16 years that way, it was discontinued and I’ve never found one as good. This one seemed almost there, it might be good just for the car, but not for walking.The side straps can be tightened, but it’s difficult to do so, and then for the extra length of strap it either hangs out all over the place, or you can fold it and have velcro straps to keep them in place, which they fail to do, the straps eventually slip and are dangling again.Most of all, it is a cinch for the dog to slip right out of. In the photos you’ll see there is a single buckle right in the middle of the back. The dog steps into the harness, you pull it up and then buckle at the back, not around the neck or sides. There are two metal hoops for the leash, which I guess, you clasp both at once which is awkward, requires a lead with a large enough clasp and it still doesn’t make the harness any more secure. She can slip out going forwards or backwards. The middle clasp just doesn’t secure the harness towards the neck or the tail.I had it at the tightest settings and I though it fit snugly but my dog didn’t want to come home after a walk and just slipped right out with no effort. I have a mother harness for her and she can still slip out if she really wants to, and I’m pretty sure it’s almost cutting off circulation. However she does need to make more of an effort so I have time to intervene before she succeeds.

Well made and well thought concept. Secure.

I have now used this harness on my large Wolfdog for more than a month. I use it to fasten her seat belt to the existing seat belt in the back seat. This harness is the most sturdy I have ever found on the market. The buckles are placed perfect so that IF something would happen, it's not the buckles that have to take the force of whatever would happen if we would come to an abrupt halt with the car. My girl weighs about 40kg/100lbs, so I really need a harness that can hold her weight if something were to happen. It also doubles as a walking harness when we're outside of the car and I'm very pleased with it.It has excellent support for her chest which would take the brunt force of having to stop suddenly.So far, I'm very satisfied with this Sherpa Crash Tested Multi functional Safety Belt Dog Harness - Black, Extra Large

Sturdy harness and easy to put on/use for my 50kg good boi.

I was so excited to see a harness that would take a seat belt. The harness itself is very heavy. The only way it would work is if your dog would sit in the seat like a human. My dog loves to look out of the window and lie down on the seat. When standing he looks like a frog as the belt pulled the harness down round his side and pulled his legs up. So disappointed. It would suit dogs that don’t like lying or standing

This harness was obviously designed for a giant dog, then scaled down for smaller and smaller dogs, without taking into account the heaviness and bulkiness of the build. I hesitate to say this is a negative (who wants a flimsy restraint harness??), but it is awfully big and bulky for a tiny dog.That said, the stitching, rivets, and other design elements that make this a RESTRAINT harness are superb; everything about it reads solid, reliable, and safe for use in the vehicle to ensure your furbaby is not harmed in a collision; but this is NOT the harness if you are seeking one for just walking.It comes with multiple adjustment points, but is still a bit cumbersome to fit, especially the first time; but again, so is setting up a child's car seat. Both are restraint devices and should be SOLID; if that means a bit of a learning curve, so be it.Standard seat belt just slips through the handles and clips into the receiver just as if a human were using it; this again is be fabulous for a medium to giant breed dog, but not so much for the tinies...too much strap to get tangled in for the littles like mine.I would suggest a redesign for small breed dogs/animals, or stick to just the larger animals. This is too much weight, too bulky and too much going on for small dogs. Why then do I not rate it lower? Because the product itself is not flawed, only it's use for lithe or thin tiny dogs (MinPin/Chi/Pom), in my opinion, is inappropriate. For larger dogs this would definitely be something I would buy, gift and use as it is so solidly put together, both in design and materials.
