    Load Up Harness is Great!

    The Load Up Harness is the perfect dog and driver safety device. I recently adopted a Blue Heeler who wants to sit in my lap while I drive and drool on the steering wheel. Needless to say, I don't have enough driving skills to manage a 40 pound dog on my lap while making sure I don't break any traffic laws or lose my grip on the steering wheel due to dog drool. The Load Up Harness keeps my dog safe in the back seat and my steering wheel and lap drool free. The harness is very easy to use; easy to get on and off. Even though Moose admittedly would rather sit in the driver's seat, driving with him safely in the back seat has improved our driving experience immensely!

    Better harness for the car.

    I had to return the medium for my 50 lb pup because the bottom of the harness was hitting him too close to he under parts. He had had an operation after ingesting a rock and I was concerned that it might irritate that area. I did try to get in touch with the company but didn't recieve a call for two weeks. But by that time I returned the medium for a small. Let out all the straps and it fits great. We ride 45 minutes to Rally training and for swim lessons. So it is important to me to keep him safe.

    Peace of mind

    Bought this after hours researching car harnesses- I chose it because of the safety testing and dog forward design. My boy is a little equipment sensitive and isn’t sure about if he loves it yet, but the fit is great and is giving me much more peace of mind when he rides in the car. Love that the hardware is metal rather than plastic buckles, and everything seems really sturdy.

    Great for keeping our big boys safe in the car

    We bought this harness for each of our dogs - a L/XL for our 117 lb Bernese and a M for our 72 lb Retriever. The harnesses are easy to adjust, put on and attach. The boys are able to sit or lie down on the back seat without discomfort. Highly recommend and now they are safer in case of an accident or sudden braking.

    The boys love ‘em!

    Load Up Car harnesses get a similar response from the boys as their Ruffwear Float Coat life jackets. In this case they know they are going for a car ride instead of a paddle. How do they know?

    Similar sizing and quality for both items. Dogs love to have them on because they fit right and they know it will lead to a fun afternoon with their people.
