Kurgo Direct to Seat-Belt Tether

I bought this for my service dog for short trips where I would not be putting a crate in my car for her. It works well enough because she is well trained and knows that she needs to say in the seat. However, she has gotten down out of the seat and walked around the car with it still attached (I only made it long enough to attach to her vest) which is a bit of a concern. You need to be sure you have a harness or vest for your dog because placing it on the collar could cause an injury in my assessment. I gave the tether a three star rating because it is good quality and easy to use.

I do think that as a consumer you need to know what you are buying and what problems you may have with it. However, considering the other products on this market, this is very good and I would currently recommend it. … more

I bought two of these to hook my dogs up safely when I drive them places. I would suggest if you have a small dog like mine to also install a car hammock so they cannot fall down on the floor as the seat belt tether is not short enough to keep them from falling off the seat. The only drawback is the weight of the black attachment. Very heavy for a smaller dog but still okay.

First time buying a seat belt for my dog, it worked great. It keeps her secure in backseat. She is about 40lbs. I've had this for only TWO weeks and the latch that connects to her harness stopped working. It does not reclick to secure itself. It's a great seat belt but not the best quality.

I really liked these very much - I got 2 of them to travel cross county to pick up 2 dogs that I adopted. They were strong and sturdy, and stayed attached to the harnesses I also purchased. I was happy they were adjustable, for the different sizes of dogs. The only flaw, which isn't their fault, is when the dog steps on the seatbelt button and releases himself, so keep an eye out for that!

This tether is well made & extremely handy. No fussing with the seatbelt! You click it in & it’s always ready. The length being adjustable is a +++ too!

Love this product! My 53 lb dog does not feel confined. She can easily get to the window to stick her head out if she chooses. It’s adjustable, so if you wish for your dog not to get to the window you can adjust it accordingly. She is protected if I have to hit on the brakes as well. I have one for each of our cars.

Keeps unruly puppy from jetting out the door when it's opened. Sturdy and easy to connect (may not be for a harness with small D-Ring - our puppy has a medium sized harness). I would not use this restraint if a dog moves around alot in the back seat and no one is in the back seat with the dog.

We haven't tried this on our dog yet (just a test walk), but it looks like it's going to be just fine in the car and on longer walks.

This is the cutest and best seatbelt I've found for this price. You just clip it on the harness and it keeps them from jumping in the front seat! You can adjust it so that your pooch can have a little freedom in the back seat

Really like this product. You can tell it is sturdy and well made. However, for my 50lb husky/shepherd mix, it is just a bit too short even on the longest setting. He is able to stand and lie down comfortably (which I guess in the point) but can't reach the window of my Subaru and tends to get tangled when he tries to switch sides. I think I will try to one designed for large dogs with the swivel attachment. Nothing wrong with the design, just not meant for larger breeds.
