Load Up™ Car Harness: Testing & Design

Great harness
My pup has several Ruffwear harnesses and this one fits true to size. I used it for a long road trip and felt more at ease with her secured. I do wish it had a leash attachment for when we pulled over for a walk. I also found the straps awkward - there is a lot of excess strap and the Velcro is awkward. It’s good quality and my pup seemed comfortable in it in the car.

Well designed. Very study.
Love ruff wear products! They’re always designed with such care. When fitted this harness is very easy to get on and off. Here’s Juno, 20” border collie (38-40lbs). She wears a size small.

Great Product
The video explaining how to adjust the fit was excellent as it was not intuitive at first glance. My 18 month-old Rottweiler's prior seal belts had been simple straps and buckles so he "could not move" once he was securely strapped in this harness! He figured it out pretty quickly and I feel much better about his safety while on the road. Thank you for a great product.
