Is this harness appropriate to use in a car with a D-ring hooked to a seat belt tether?

I have had two different harnesses from Puppia. This one I believe has two rings on the back and the other one I have has only one ring on the back. The seat belt tether I have just clicks into the seat belt on one end and had a "leash-type" hook to attach to the harness. That tether works with both the harnesses without any problem. Hope that helps; don't know what kind of tether you have.

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.

Is it safe to use for tethering a dog to a seatbelt using the back ring? I don't believe this product was ever designed for that purpose. The straps are not that wide, so if the dog were to be restrained during an accident, I don't imagine that it would feel too good for the dog. My answer for that would have to be NO. I will say, that the intended purpose for use with dogs that pull has worked wonderfully for my 9 month old boxer dog. Of course, having an excellent trainer direct us didn't hurt either, but this harness is comfortable for dogs and works. I would definitely recommend this harness and proper positive reinforcement techniques together to correct pulling.

There are openings for humans to be able to wear seatbelts so I don't see why you wouldn't be able tobuse the same openings to tether your dog's leash

This buckle really would not help. The harness on your dog is the genuine factor. You must have a harness that displaces the force of the accident and momentum and around the rib cage of the dog. You cannot attach this to a regular collar, gentle leader, or standard harness that loops around body and neck. If you are looking to buckle in your dog over crate or gated travel, there are leashes with a "traffic control" loop about 1 to 1 1/2 foot from the clasp you can just use your actual car seat belt through the loop.

Yes, it can. It is basically just a seatbelt strap with a hook in to your car seat belt on 1 end, and a clip to hook to your dog on the other. I usually clip it to a harness, but have also clipped it to a collar for short trips. Length is adjustable, so dog can wander a bit or be kept in 1 spot. Hope this helps!

Certainly. You simply remove the harnesses and use it with the vehicle seat belt.

I can't say for certain but it's a pretty decently designed universal mounting with infinitely adjustable straps that hook on to D-rings. If the straps wouldn't work for you, you could use any other strap or bungee to connect to the D-rings to secure it.

Yes, this harness can be used. You may have to disassemble it a little to attach the harness, but it might just involve taking the seat only.

I don't think it would be safe..The point is to restrain with little chance of twisting or "flinging" should an accident occur. Mine is tethered to the back seat with the seatbelt so that she can turn a bit on the seat and re-adjust to get comfortable or lie down, but I have placed padded "boxes" in the floor wells to prevent her sliding off the seat. So, short of an overturned car, she should be ok... But tethered to the floor would seem to afford more opportunity for errant (and possibly injuring) movement. Just my thoughts, though...

It could BUT if you had to stop sharply it would do damage to the dog's neck, a harness is so worth it, I just leave mine in the car attached all the time, it's so easy to then put it on the dog when needed, there are some very inexpencsive

It clips into the place that the seat belt does. so the answer to that is no because there is no place for the harness to clip into when using this leash. At best it prevents the animal from becoming a projectile in a accident or a fast stop. The back seat shoulder harness belt is designed for a human being. I don't believe the vehicle seat belt harness would work for a dog or any other pet with or without the dog leash. This dog leash should be used with a well fitting dog harness for maximum safety.

The tether is not required when using the seatbelt. It is fairly secure without the tether.

There is a D-ring on the back but be warned, my boxer learned how to get out of it in like five minutes. There was no rigging good enough to keep him in it if we needed him to be tied out for a few hours for one reason or another. This will be fine if you need a good walking harness but that's it.

The car vehicle auto seat safety belt is great, but the one I purchased was of poor quality. It will work wherever you have a seat buckle. Make sure you purchase a good quality car vehicle auto seat safety belt. The safety belt hooks to our dogs harness and we feel they are much safer, and we are much safer as well, when our dogs are in the car.

It should work in any car unless your seat belts are not operating properly, it's totally adjustable. It works better on a harness than just a collar. Warning if used with a collar sudden stops can cause the dog to be thrown forward and choke him/her. Also, my dog tried to jump out before he was detached and slightly choked him.

Yes! My pup wears his harness and the dog seat has a clasp on a nylon strap about 5 inches long I'd say, at the bottom inside the car seat. The length is also adjustable!

Yes, as long as the car has the hooks to anchor the seat and the tether hooks in the back. U need that so the car seat will sit upright.
