Safe Traveler Harness

I shudder to think how I'd evacuate all of my dogs during a disaster - but this much I know for sure: I'm prepared for the worst with multiples of the Safe Traveler Harness. Each set includes a harness, connecting tether, seat belt adapter, and travel bag, enabling me to secure my dogs to their seats. And that means I'll be able to drive the pups to safety more easily than if, say, they were all clamoring to get into the front seat. (This, unfortunately, is something a lot of dogs like to do - but when you're trying to evacuate your family in an emergency, such antics could prove fatal to everyone in the vehicle.)  

As the founder of MuttShack Animal Rescue, Amanda St. John has more disaster-preparedness experience than most dog lovers - and she's selected this harness as a key component of any dog safety kit. "This harness is wonderful to quickly secure your pet during an evacuation from fires or hurricanes," Amanda explains.  

Even on an ordinary day, it can help prevent disaster - I'm thinking specifically of the time when the hatch of my wagon swung open and my dog Pepper made a daring leap from my car, landing smack in the middle of the road.

Obviously, something similar happened to Amanda too: "I like this harness just to keep dogs from jumping out of the car unexpectedly," she says. "You know, that STAY STAY STAY dance we all have to do!"
