    Easy Walk Harness for my new dog
    I recently purchased an Easy Walk Harness for my new dog. This is the kind that has the metal ring for the leash across the chest as opposed to on the back. I am wondering how to safely use this type of harness in the car attached to the seatbelt. Thanks!

    Do not use any harness or collar as a seat belt. There are harnesses out there that are specially made to be used as a seat belt. If you use any harness or collar, your dog could be very seriously injured without the help of an accident. A quick stop could break the sternum or crush the trachea.

    Go and purchase the doggy safety belt harness. It's created for that specific reason. To protect your dog, not injure it!

    I think the harness he has is safe to sue with seatbelts, if it's the one I remember seeing advertised the other day. Is there not instructions on the harness?
