I'm getting this for a seizure response dog. She'll be wearing a harness whenever we're out and about. Can I place the car harness on top of the other

I do. My dog travels with two harnesses on. I lock both into the dog seat then remove the traveling harness when I reach my destination. The walking harness stays on. Hope this helps...

You can use either or both. The harness should be fit tight enough that this wouldn't be an issue.

No u need to put harness on dog . I got one for about $8. At Petco. There is a straps few inches long in upper center of seat designed to quickly & easily hook onto the harness. I leave the leash hooked on too, so when taking her out of seat I have good control.

Yes, we have our dog wear a harness and it is clipped to the seat. Our dog can stand up turn around look out the window, just not get out of that space and has always been very comfortable.

In my experience, it's more how much play there is in your hook-up than "give" in the harness that will allow for laying down. I think the harness is comfortable in either position, tho'. I have different ways to attach harnesses and tethers in my vehicle - around the seat-belt buckled, directly into the seat-belt latch, and with a cross-tie (I have a Subaru Baja). Since the connection is on the back, this works with the 1st two alternatives. The tether is adjustable and I think you'll be able to find a length which allows your dogs to lay down without TOO much unwanted movement - obviously, the longer the tether, the greater the risk of injury when the dog reaches the end of it in an accident. I hope this rambling answer helps!

It was recommended to us to order based on the length of the dog (from withers to dock of tail). We thought our dogs would be very hard to fit this way because they both have very unique body shapes, but it worked out very well. Like the other answer said, I would recommend using the harness under the jacket rather than over it. If you put a harness over any kind of clothing, it can cause the fabric to bunch up and irritate the skin.

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.

Hi . I don´t use this harness right now but I used for testing and is not wrong , I did use for one , is fine for me and I think is good to have two options in the same harness.Regards

we have ours in the backseat of car on top of the armrest (in the backseat). we run the middle seat belt through the straps on the back. our dog also wears a riding harness. it works great for her!

If you just use the pieces that come with the Vehicle Safety Harness, he will be able to lay down and move a little, but not from one side to the other, that would defeat the purpose of the harness. If you want him to have the extra ability to move just hook the harness to his leash and attach to seat belt. Hope that helps. I have a wrangle and I hook it to his lease and he has full mobility in the back of my jeep, but cannot jump out..

Yes it can! When I take them somewhere with me, I just leave the harness on all day. It's super convenient!

The harness comes with a strap that attaches to the seatbelt. When you put your dog in the car you will need to pull the seatbelt out until it locks and then you can attach the strap. When you hit the brakes the tension on the seatbelt won't let the dog move. It has helped alot with my dog. She used to almost fall to the floorboard when I braked. Now she seems more relaxed and safe...along with myself. ;)

not directly. A strap goes around the headrest and a second strap goes around the seat and clips together at the back. there is a tether that attaches to the seat belt with a clasp that attaches to your pet's harness.

I don't want mine to, so the conection to her harness is short. You could adjust it so they could I guess.

while you are at it, buy a harness for your dog. smart people realize that the neck (collar) is not the best place to restrain your dog.

Sorry for the delay in answering. The harness is easy to put on if the dog is standing still. It is much easier to put the harness on before you get into the car, then hook it up to the seatbelt via the tether. There are two plastic "snaps" that are what lock the harness in place, so its easy to take off and on. My dog gets very excited on trips, so won;t stand still--so needs the harness on before leaving the house, But you might be able to leave yours in the car, and just "buckle him in" when its time to go for a ride :)

You tie it to the front seats so you could tie it low or high, whatever you need. If you tie it tightly I don't think your dog would be able to nose his way under it. The trick is to tie it tightly to the 2 front seats. Good luck ~
