Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is ISOFIX/LATCH and does my car have it?
A: ISOFIX (UK/Europe) and LATCH (US) are standardised anchor points built into most modern cars for securing child seats. They're usually located between the back seat cushions. Check your car manual to confirm your vehicle has them.

Q: Can I attach this to my dog's collar?
A: No. Always attach the tether to a car harness (back D-ring), never a collar. Using a collar can cause serious neck or throat injury during sudden stops or braking.

Q: Will this stop my dog from moving around in the car?
A: It prevents your dog from jumping into the front seat, climbing out of windows, or roaming across the back seat. The adjustable length allows them to sit, stand, or lie down comfortably without excessive movement.

Q: Is this crash-tested?
A: This tether helps prevent roaming and distractions, but it is not a crash-tested restraint system on its own. For maximum safety, use it with a crash-tested car harness designed for vehicle travel.

Q: What does the shock-absorbing bungee do?
A: The bungee section reduces sudden jolts during braking or turns, making the ride smoother and less jarring for your dog. It also prevents the tether from snapping taut too quickly.

Q: How do I clean it?
A: Wipe clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in warm soapy water. Air dry completely before storing. Check for wear and tear regularly.
