The RAC Advanced Dog Car Safety Harness is an ideal solution for pet owners who prioritize both vehicle safety and animal comfort. It is designed for large dogs requiring a secure tether system during travel, effectively minimizing driver distractions caused by an unrestrained pet.

FAQs
Does this harness fit all dog breeds?
This Jumbo size is specifically for dogs with a chest girth between 66cm and 107cm. Please measure your dog before purchasing.
Can I use this for walking my dog as well?
Yes, it can be used for walks, but it is primarily engineered as a car safety restraint.
Is the harness machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the reflective material and hardware.
How do I measure my dog's chest girth?
Measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage, just behind the front legs.
Does this require a separate seatbelt adapter?
The harness is designed to be compatible with standard vehicle seatbelts; however, always check your local regulations regarding vehicle pet restraints.
Will the harness cause choking during a sudden stop?
No, the Y-shape design is specifically intended to move pressure away from the throat and onto the chest.
Troubleshooting
Harness feels loose even after adjustment
Re-measure the dog's chest girth. Ensure the strap is threaded correctly through the slider buckle to prevent slipping.
Dog seems uncomfortable or restricted
Check if the padding is centered on the chest. Adjust the girth straps to allow for more movement while maintaining a secure connection.
Difficulty fastening the harness
Ensure the dog is standing calmly and that the harness is positioned correctly with the Y-shape oriented toward the front.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the harness, place the Y-shape section against the dog’s chest and thread the straps through the adjustment buckles. Ensure the fit is snug enough that the harness does not slide around, but loose enough to fit two fingers between the strap and the dog’s skin. Compatibility is standard for most vehicle seatbelt receptacles; however, verify that your specific car model does not require an additional adapter. To maintain the harness, wipe down the nylon fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the reflective strips or the durability of the buckles. Always inspect the stitching and buckles before each use to ensure there are no signs of wear.
