Yes! The Crash Safe Dog harness allows your dog to sit or lay down comfortably while still being securely restrained. The lower tether helps keep them stable, preventing them from shifting too much during the ride. This setup ensures both comfort and safety.

Absolutely! If you frequently switch between vehicles, we recommend using a second tether system instead of purchasing multiple harnesses. This allows for quick and easy transitions while maintaining safety.

Yes! Our harness has passed the same tests as child car seats, ensuring the highest safety standards for your dog in case of a collision.

  1. Have your dog sit in the back seat.
  2. Clip the lower tether to the harness to keep them stable.
  3. Attach the upper tether to the seatbelt for added security.
  4. To exit, unclip the upper tether, attach a leash, and release the lower tether.

Our harness is successfully crash tested, easy to use, and made in Canada. Unlike many harnesses that rely on plastic buckles and weak stitching, our design prioritizes safety with high-strength metal components and reinforced webbing. The patented Optimus Buckle system is engineered for durability and real crash protection—meeting the same standards as child car seats. We avoid plastic where it matters most, ensuring our harness holds up in extreme conditions and high-impact scenarios. Designed for both safety and ease of use, our system is simple to put on, adjust, and secure in any vehicle.

All Optimus gear is excellent and the warranty is unbeatable.
I especially enjoy the belt leash and the seat covers that prevent damage to the inside of my vehicle from all of life's messes. Tools, gardening supplies, kids and dogs are messy. These seat covers protect your vehicle from everything!

Save yourself the research and don't hesitate on purchasing the crash safe harness. Andrew was amazing at working with us and making sure our precious Presley was safe and comfortable in the car. Thank you so much for your help.

Because everybody 💕 Lucy!

Purchased this crash safe harness because the other brands failed! After a near miss, and an averted crash I’d had enough! I was concerned for my dog’s safety because other brands failed to keep her tethered and therefore safe. Do your own research, check out the cbc Marketplace test report about the other harnesses being sold in local pet stores. This one works because it is safe and incidentally, is made in MB 🇨🇦.

Great fit

It’s a great fit on my 110 lb Rottie. She wears it readily - knowing a car ride is in the works .,.
