Is the position safe for a dog's back?

I'm not a vet, that would be a great question to ask him or her.. However, my dog does not mind at all. she loves looking out. no back problems to report :)

I think it depends on the size and weight of the dog. My dog is Doxie so as you know their backs are bit more vulnerable. Even though she is small she has some weight to her. I decided not to use it.

I have mine as a safety precaution for my dog...She is on retractable leash w/harnesses when we go trail walking.

the answer to your question is, yes it does. The one thing you need to be careful with is going with is going around turns. Recently I went around corner and the trailer went over with the dog inside; that is why I stressed using a harness to hold your pet firmly. I didn't get hurt because I concentrated on controlling the bike. The beagle was spooked but she loves the rides so much all she wanted to do was to get back on the road and start riding again, she loves the bicycle rides and will go out and get in trailer and lie down while i load up. Remember in and out from the back of the trailer always so pet knows front is not an exit. the answer to your question is, yes it does.

I think it would be fine. The vibration isn't that strong, and it certainly wouldn't hurt your dog.

My dog did learn to flip it but in its normal position she wouldn't be ble to get to her back legs. For a shihtzu the cone would probably go past her snout.

No. It is of the back side. However, pay really attention to the height. My boy is a yorkie less than 4 lb. He refused to eat from that, because that's too high for him to reach the.

It will hold its position really well at any length. The non-slip portion of the ends is very secure. It won't slide or shimmy around at all. And although it's a pretty simple design, it's very well made. It might be awkward to try to use it for access to a back seat or passenger seat. It's designed ideally for getting a dog in and out of the back of an SUV/truck. Definitely worth the purchase!

Absolutely. My dog is a female and she lifts her legs while in the chair, the same as she would on the ground. She can also poop with no problems. This chair has been great!!

it is fairly stable, but it is designed for a persons body, and I think a dog would probably slip off.

I don't think it will be as secure and may slide around if your dog fidgets. If there is enough of an indentation from top to bottom it may work fine but if it (the seat) is more straight from top to bottom it won't work.

My best answer would be this: if the animal is calm enough you should not have any problems, the base of the stand isn't super heavy so it will easily tip over if bumped properly. Or if you wanted I'm sure you could drill a hole through the base to mount it on a platform/grooming table.

This is designed for the dog to be carried in front of you,although I guess it could be used with the dog on your back,but I would not use it that way.

Hello, I purchased this for our cats, we do not own a dog. However, I don't see why a dog would be unable to lay comfortably with this on. The only additional suggestion I have is to not inflate it too much (and make it too hard for the pooch), and just allow a little "give" so that it will cradle the dog's neck and head comfortably, yet still keep him away from the infected or medicated area.

There are handles on the neck and on the butt. The one near the rear has a d-ring that you can attach a lead to. I suppose it's designed that way so the dog can get out in front of you and have full range of motion. I attached a caribiner to the front handle so I could attach a lead. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask

We have a rather long dog and a compact car -- but using just the parts that came with the harness, he has no problem lying down and even sticking his muzzle up right next to the driver's shoulder. Any more freedom would reduce the safety aspect of the harness, IMO.

Yes, fine. I hold it down with my foot and put it at a slight slant. It's still really easy for my dog

No I my lab dog has never been in an accident .What I can tell is ,this harness is very well made, heavy duty, have never seen another made as well. I also use it for walking Jagger which works much better than a coller. When using in a Vehicle I feel he has been secured as well as he can be, giving him some mobility, enabling him the ability to change laying or sitting positions. I also feel safer knowing a 80 lb, potential projectile is safe and secure in our back.seat. I will say it also helps to stablizing him when he stands while moving or curving along the road way. It's an item we never leave home with out. I feel very confident if we were ever in an accident he as protected as he can be without completely immobilizing him. Immobilizing him is definitely not an option..Hope this is of some help in choosing a harness. Also I might add this harness very simple to put on or when taking off.
