Abstract

An adjustable safety pet harness for dogs and cats while traveling in a vehicle and strapped to a vehicle's seat belt. The harness comprises six flexible straps, wherein three straps are affixed to a synthetic lambskin chest pad. Two of the three straps are crossed chest straps and the third strap becomes a lower body strap removably attachable to an upper body strap. The chest straps have buckles for adjustment in length to fit the pet. The chest straps are attached on top to the upper body strap and held parallel by a cross-strap. A median portion of the cross-strap supports a connector strap which has a metal D-ring on an end on the cross-strap and its opposite end fastened to the upper body strap to secure a flexible nylon webbing with a snap hook at its distal end for connection with the D-ring. The connector strap is looped around a safety belt for protection of the pet during a sudden stop or collision.
