The Crash Safe Dog harness is designed to work as both an everyday walking harness and a car safety system. For walks and runs, it uses appropriately sized clips to reduce unnecessary weight, while still being strong enough to handle the forces involved in a crash.

The system is also designed to make getting in and out of the car simple and controlled. When getting in, you:

1. Guide your dog in with the leash
   
2. Clip in the lower tether
   
3. Unclip the leash from the walking point
   
4. Clip in the upper tether
   

When exiting, you reverse the process undo the upper tether, clip the leash, then unclip from the lower tether so your dog is always secure.

This approach keeps transitions calm, intuitive, and safe without changing gear.

Yes. Our XS through Large sizes have all passed the same dynamic crash tests used for child car seats, helping ensure the harness performs as intended during real-world collisions.

Our XL size is scheduled for testing in our next round of crash testing. In the meantime, it has undergone extensive static strength and pull testing to verify safety and structural integrity.

Every size is developed using the same design principles, materials, and safety standards, with testing used to confirm performance, not assumptions.

We currently have dogs using the Crash Safe Dog harness ranging from 5 lbs to over 150 lbs.

Absolutely. The Crash Safe Dog harness is built for both in-car safety and everyday walking, so you don’t have to swap gear between home and travel. It’s designed to be comfortable, intuitive to put on, and supportive for normal movement, yet engineered to handle the intense forces of sudden stops and crashes.

This dual-purpose approach eliminates hassle while ensuring safety where it counts.

Generic seatbelt tethers or simple harnesses are often not crash-engineered, meaning they weren’t designed to manage the real forces involved in an accident. Crash Safe Dog harnesses are different because they feature:

• Purpose-built, load-managed hardware
  
• Multi-point load distribution, rather than relying on a single anchor point
  
• Quality materials and workmanship focused on structural safety, not just basic restraint
  
• A safety-first design philosophy that goes beyond pass/fail labels
  

In addition, every harness is ethically made in Canada, with the design, machining, sewing, and assembly done in-house. That allows us to control materials, quality, and safety at every step.

This isn’t a belt with a clip, it’s a complete safety system designed to reduce injury risk and give you peace of mind on every drive.
