Great fit
Well made harness with 4 adjustable points so a great fit. I have a big Labrador. Tried a few that did not fit but this one is perfect. D ring at the front and on the back. He’s comfortable and safe for long car journey and I use it for long train journeys too. Recommend.

Strong, well-made harness, excellent value for money.
This harness was bought for our retriever as a car harness so that she can travel safely in the car. The most important consideration was safety and I am very re-assured by the quality and build of the harness. It is quite a heavy harness and while there may be lighter alternatives that use plastic fittings instead of metal I wanted to make sure that the harness was robust enough to protect our dog in case of an accident. The build quality looks excellent, thick nylon strapping and heavy duty metal fittings that look designed to last and withstand a lot of force. The design is quite simple and it was easy to adjust to the size of our dog. The harness will adjust to accommodate different sized necks and torsos via four sliding buckles; once adjusted it was simply a matter of unclipping each time we put it on or off. I found the clasps a bit fiddly at first but they feel rock solid when fastened. The harness has attachments for a lead both at the front of the breast pad and on the top of harness so could be effectively used as a training/walking harness though this wasn't our primary intention. The harness comes with an equally sturdy-looking seat belt tether and is very good value for money. I feel reassured buying a brand that I recognise; the harness was apparently crash-tested and comes with a 'lifetime warranty' though I don't know what the customer service is like for this product as I have never needed to use it. The harness seems well-padded. I have seen other harnesses where there is more/thicker padding and where the straps/webbing is a bit wider, these may be more comfortable for prolonged wearing but in all honesty our dog seemed very comfortable wearing this one. Overall I am very pleased with the harness. I did quite a lot of research before buying and if you are looking for a car (or multi-use) dog harness then I don't think that you could do much better.

Go for a bigger size
Well i ordered a small size for my 10kg cockapoo who has a 20.5" chest which is the size recommended by the seller, when it arrived it was far to small and nowhere near big enough to fit my dog even though the sizing said it would. The harness looks very sturdy and so i am very disappointed that the size recommended does not fit and to add insult to injury they are charging me £3.99 to post it back to them even though it was not my fault that the size was wrong . Wont re-order it again in case the medium doesn't fit and i would then have to pay out a second £3.99 to send it back. UPDATE- Well after complaining to Amazon they gave me the £3.99 postage back and were very nice about it so i thought i would give ordering a medium size a go as i really liked the harness. Arrived today and have to say it fits my dog perfectly it is a fantastic sturdy car harness and also it has the benefit of being crash tested so gives me piece of mind. Glad i re ordered so just remember sizing is on the small size.

Crash tested
My first preference for having the dog travel in the car with us was to have her in a crate in the boot. However, she absolutely hates it and is always travel sick which makes going anywhere with her a nightmare, but she will happily sit on the back seat. So I started looking at car harnesses and quickly found out that most of them are cheap and cheerful and basically just a nod to the law, but actually do nothing to restrain your dog in the event of an accident. Seeing as I usually have at least one of my children in the car with me, I need them to be safe from a flying dog, and I’d really rather the dog was unharmed too. After a lot of reading online I decided on the Kurgo as it’s one of the few crash tested dog harnesses available in the uk, and it doesn’t cost a fortune. It’s easy to fit, seems very well made and my dog is very happy wearing it. It is quite heavy thanks to the metal hardware which may be an issue with very small dogs, but my labrador puppy doesn’t seem to mind, even when we used it as a walking harness, and of course it’s the metal clips which give the harness it’s strength. A word of warning though - if it’s even slightly loose fitting, the dog can escape it so make sure it’s tight enough! She seems to have plenty of space to settle on the back seat when restrained, but not enough that she can try to jump in my toddler’s lap or try to get in the front of the car. Thankfully I’ve not needed to test the crash test claims but so far I’m happy. I bought the medium which fits my 13kg dog very well. I did have an issue with the seller sending the wrong size and the ensuing marketplace returns palaver... I hadn’t realised that the medium was not sent by Amazon unlike the other sizes. However, we have the correct size now so it’s all good. If it wasn’t for the fact that the metal on the harness will rust if wet, I would probably ditch our regular waking harness and use this full time, I like it that much! Edit October 2020. I’ve recently had to buy another Kurgo harness in large now my dog is 24kg. I had no hesitation in buying it again, and it has now completely replaced the regular walking harness. The metal clips didn’t rust although I expected them to, and the front lead attachment ring has helped a lot with the dog pulling. I now recommend this harness to everyone I know!

Excellent product
Fits well, easy to adjust and fasten, comfortable for the dog to wear. This is the second one we have had after our dog grew out of the first one! Wouldn't consider any other brand. This one is crash tested and enough sizes to ensure a good fit

A dog in a safety harness must be able to stand up & this one doesn’t
The harness itself is excellent, strong & well fitting & doubling as a safety harness & walking harness is a really good idea. However, the tether when fitted into the seat belt & the D ring back onto the harness was so tight on my dog, she could barely stand up which made it unsafe. My dog is a 27kg Border Collie. I had to send it back & buy a Ruffwear load up harness instead.

We bought this harness as the range of sizes was rather large and we had no idea how big our mixed breed rescue puppy would grow up to be. We have had this harness for 3 months now and our girl grew inside of it from 13 to 22kg. We are very happy with our purchase and have gotten several positive comments as well. It's a very solid piece which tightens a bit on the top when the dog pulls - which is great as she can't get out of it this way. Our dog is quite scared of other dogs and people, so she has tried a few time to run away, but this harness keeps her secure with us. The front-no-pull function unforuntately does not work very well for us. The front part is rather loose and it just moves the whole harness to the side of her body, turning it into a great toy to bite on right in front of her nose. It's hard to describe but put simply: if you are looking for a no-pull harness, look somewhere else. Then again, on average it takes a dog about 1,5 years to learn to walk well on the leash, so we don't really worry about her very few times of pulling and therefore don't mind not having a great no-pull-front-buckle option. Overall definitely recommend this harness! Especially for puppies!

Once I'd set it up once it was easy to use - and looks to be very comfortable for our dog. The included car carabiner looks safe and is easy to get on and off. Perhaps some more reflective strips would be useful, but other than that cannot fault this harness - especially considering the price and comparison to other significantly more expensive products.

Pettorina di buona fattura. Solida, ben rifinita, comoda. Ottima per gli spostamenti in auto e per passeggiate in luoghi non molto sicuri. Protettiva e ben fasciate risulta ben tollerata dal cane. La consiglio specialmente a chi si sposta molto con il proprio animale. E' sicura!

Cómodo de poner a mi Golden y de sujetar al coche y parece muy seguro

I got this harness for car rides with my dog, and it feels really solid and well made. The buckles are heavy-duty metal, not flimsy plastic, so I trust it a lot more. It takes a little extra time to put on compared to a regular harness, but once it’s on, it doesn’t budge and my dog seems comfortable in it. The included seat belt clip is super handy and keeps her from wandering around the car. I also like that I can use it as a regular walking harness since it has the front clip for no-pull training. Overall, it’s a bit pricier than some harnesses, but the quality and peace of mind are worth it.
