Sturdy and a Good Value!
My breeder actually recommended this product to me. My dog rides in the back seat, which I have covered with a "dog blanket" that has slits for seat belts. The Slowton dog harness comes with a short seat belt attachment that fits my car seat belt receptacles and keeps my dog from leaving the back seat (just make sure it clicks when you insert it into your car's seat belt receptacle). The harness itself is great, too. It's made of sturdy material and is adjustable for size. Size small fit my puppy when he was 20 pounds, and remarkably still fits him now, two months and an extra 15 pounds later (he now weighs 35! Puppies grow fast). I bought the "mesh" version but still worried that the harness was a bit hot for him when the temperature was in the nineties, so I didn't use it for dog walking when it was super hot out (though I still used it in my air-conditioned car). But now that it's not above 80 degrees outside, I prefer to walk him with the harness, because most vets and dog books recommend harnesses for walking. It's preferable to attaching a leash to a dog's collar, which can subject its neck to too much pressure if it ever strains at the leash, or jumps/lunges. I plan to order a size medium Slowton harness soon, to have it on hand when my pup finally outgrows size small. Last thing, you can't beat the price on this harness, as it's good quality, does what it's supposed to do, plus comes with the seatbelt attachment. I would recommend it to everyone. However-- don't leave your dog unattended when wearing it. Once, I unavoidably left my pup in the car for 15 minutes, and he apparently struggled and managed to squeeze part way out of the harness (he hates being left alone). I then realized I'd had it on him too loose. Aim to just be able to squeeze two of your fingers under it-- the same as it's advised to do with a collar. Note-- this has never happened when walking him. Even though still he often pulls and jumps on walks, his harness has stayed securely on him. Just always make sure the buckles always "click" into place when you put it on your dog. (The buckles are made of a type of sturdy plastic that seems similar to the kind used in children's car seats and strollers, and they're very easy to operate.) Read more
