Protect your canine companion during every car ride with this professional-grade travel harness designed specifically for automotive safety. Engineered with both daily walks and vehicle transportation in mind, this dual-purpose harness features a specialized seatbelt attachment system that secures your dog during car trips while doubling as a comfortable walking harness.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Cleaning: Hand wash with mild pet-safe detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Air dry completely before use. Avoid machine washing and drying, which may compromise the structural integrity and mesh material.

Regular Inspection: Before each use, examine all buckles, stitching, webbing, and attachment points for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace immediately if any component shows deterioration to ensure continued safety performance.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving in hot vehicles, which can degrade materials over time.

• Ensure proper fit—harness should be snug but not restrictive
• This harness is designed for restraint during vehicle travel and should not be used for tie-out purposes
• Supervise your dog while wearing the harness to prevent chewing or entanglement
• Replace harness after any accident or impact, even if no visible damage is apparent
