Buy Ruff Riders Roadie Canine Vehicle Safety and Training Harness - Size Small1 Now
Overall its a pretty good design, although it is more work to get on and off my dog than I think it should be. It fits my westie well. I would prefer to be able to use the d-ring rather than hooking through the tether loop. Not sure why they designed it this way, but the D-ring on the tether is supposed to be used to hook on a leash. I clip in a D ring from the anchor point in my back seat and feed through the tether as shown in Ruff Rider instructions.I hope I never have to test this product, but if I do I feel confident that it will save his life. Dogs in carriers/crates will slam against the sides in an accident, I have a "car seat" for my small dog but didn't feel like it was secure enough. Now with the Roadie I know he is safe and secure if we are ever in an accident. Fits him great, nice and strong, no worrying about plastic or metal snaps and buckles to break. Best investment to keep my little one safe!Want Ruff Riders Roadie Canine Vehicle Safety and Training Harness - Size Small1 Discount?
Our older, Australian Terrier has the ability to slip out of any harness, and if she can't, she appears miserable and uncomfortable. For a change, she seems to be comfortable in this harness, and she hasn't slipped out of it yet. Without buckles or flimsy stitching, this well-made harness seems to be just the thing for keeping our dog secure...I hope we never have to put it to the test.Proper sizing is important, and the harness doesn't fit every dog, even with all the different sizes available. We have a smaller terrier with a thin, long neck and a deep chest. The X-Small chest was too small but the neck was correct; however, the SM-1 neck is too large, allowing her to wriggle through until the harness is around her pelvis.
UPDATE: We took the SM-1 harness for the smaller dog to an equestrian harness maker who reduced the size of the webbing forming the neck loop. The SM-1 now fits our smaller dog without slipping over her shoulders. Yes, it violates the warranty, but it seems to be a very rugged alteration.
