Are Safety Harnesses Right For Your Dog?


Does your pooch just love to go for rides with you in the car? Having them as a travel companion can make any trip more enjoyable! Taking your dog for a ride is not only fun, but a great way to get them out for socialization and exercise. There are also trips to the vet, groomer or doggie day care that require a ride in the car. Most of the time we open the door, they pop in and you go, but should you consider a dog seat belt?
Letting your dog have free rein of the car can actually be dangerous to both you and your pet. In a recent AAA survey, 31% of drivers admitted to being distracted by their pet. Whether they are climbing in your lap, or positioning themselves to get comfortable, who's not going to get distracted?
Some states are moving to enforce ticketing for having your dog on your lap. But, what options do we really have for safely restraining your dog in your vehicle?
 With a number of dog seat belts or dog safety harnesses on the market today, our choice is clear. Cabo Dog Boutique carries but one brand and that is the Clickit Utility Three Point Dog Harness. When it comes to overall performance and customer satisfaction, there really is no comparing this product to others on the market. This is why Cabo Dog Boutique chooses to carry the Clickit exclusively in dog travel accessories section. The safety of you and your family matters to all of us at Cabo Dog Boutique!

The Clickit utility harness is the first dog safety harness to incorporate three points of attachment to absorb the force sustained during a front end collision. By having a three point system the harness is better able to dissipate the energy during a crash and keep your dog safely in their seat as it was designed to do.

Unlike traditional one point dog safety harnesses, the Clickit dog seat belt will also reduce damaging forces and keep the upper and lower part of your dogs body controlled and restrained. The comfortable wide webbing structure of the dog safety vest promotes even distribution across the chest to lessen the chance of injury. Along with tethers and shoulder belts, it comes together to create an overall safety harness like no other.

With a D Ring attachment on the back of the vest, you can even use it as a walking vest! Pop your pooch from your car, snap on your handy leash and your ready to go.
Cabo Dog Boutique also has some fantastic Dog travel accessories to enhance any trip your taking with your dog. The Jet Setter doggie travel bag is a fantastic bag to put your dogs necessities all in one easy and convenient place! You can also find travel bowls for dogs and dog travel blankets that can complete your trip in style and comfort!

Why take chances. In 2013 The  Clickit harness was awarded the Center For Pet Safety Crash-worthiness Top Performer and Dog Fancy Magazine's Editors Choice Award. Cabo Dog Boutique would like to wish you all safe travels! Woof!
