Bergan Dog Harness with Tether, Large, Mossy Oak

Top Quality Dog Safety Car Harness
I researched a lot of dog safety car harnesses for my 124 lb Golden Retriever. The Bergan x-large arrived quickly, fit perfectly, with room to spare; but not too much room, so trimming the straps was unnecessary. Installation on the dog is super simple and adjustment for proper fit very simple and stays in place, once completed. The stitching is sound and the entire unit is excellent quality. The metal (aluminum) carabineers to attach the tether to the harness and seat belt anchors in the car are sturdy and appear to be sufficient to hold the deceleration stress in an accident to help protect the dog and passengers/driver (I haven't, nor do I plan to test it). The fit was comfortable for the dog and she did not object. So far, I am very pleased with the product. I think the $40 price is consistant with the quality of the harness and a fair cost. I would recommend this product.
Harness for a English Mastiff
I purchased this for two reasons. First I want to protect our four legged family member. We require anyone riding in any of our vehicles to wear seat belts. So why not require your dog to do so? The second reason is for our safety. Hunter is 175 lbs. and not belted he is a 175 lb. missile behind us if we were to have an accident. The XL fits him well. He's good about getting into the harness, but it does take time. It would be better if it had buckles vs having to adjust the straps each time. He has gotten out of it twice due to the straps stretching. It works well and gives him enough room to stand sit or lay down. Bergan Dog Harness with Tether, Large, Mossy Oak
Very awkward to use.
This harness is very difficult to put on and set to a comfortable fit. It also appears uncomfortable for the dog because it is so bulky. The tether is helpful to have in the car, so it's nice that it comes with that. (When I buy a different harness I will continue to attach it to this tether). I also found that you can't attach a regular leash to this harness to walk your dog from the car because a regular dog lead clip isn't big enough to attach. So it is just functional for the car, rather than serving a dual purpose.

I recommend looking for a different harness.
