Kurgo Seatbelt Tether for Dogs
Keep your dog from roaming around the car with the Kurgo Seatbelt Tether. This short dog car tether connects to your dog’s harness with a steel carabiner. Thread the vehicle seatbelt through the tether’s loop and click the seatbelt into its buckle to secure it.
At 25.4 cm long, it helps limit your dog’s movement so they are less likely to distract the driver.
Recommended to be used with the Kurgo Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit Dog Car Harness.
Key Features
- 25.4 cm tether: short length limits movement in the car
- Steel carabiner: clips directly to your dog’s harness
- Seatbelt loop: uses the vehicle’s existing seatbelt
- Easy installation: clip to the harness, pass the seatbelt through the loop and buckle up
- Simple care: spot clean as needed
Loop Style Attachment
This model does not plug directly into the seatbelt buckle. It uses a loop that slides over the car’s seatbelt, so it can be installed without matching a specific buckle fitting.
Use the tether with a correctly fitted dog harness, with enough room for your dog to sit comfortably without reaching the driver.
How to Use
- Clip on:
Attach the carabiner to the attachment point on your dog’s harness. - Thread through:
Pass the car’s seatbelt through the loop at the other end of the tether. - Buckle up:
Fasten the seatbelt and check that your dog cannot reach the front seats.
Car travel note: This tether is designed to restrain your dog’s movement and help reduce driver distraction. Kurgo does not list a crash-test rating for the tether.
