\u201cClick it or ticket\u201d is a common phrase to remind drivers and passengers in a car to buckle up. More important than not getting hit with a fine is the issue of safety. What loving parent would neglect properly strapping in their child? If an accident should occur, proper restraint could prevent serious injury and even death. But what about your fur baby? For them, there\u2019s Clickit.<\/p>\n
Clickit is a car harness for dogs<\/a> by Sleepypod. It makes me shake my head when I see a dog roaming around a car freely while in motion, especially if it\u2019s on the driver\u2019s lap. How can someone expect them to survive a crash like that?<\/p>\n A harness provide both protection and security. Speckles is always unstable and somewhat on edge in the car, despite her enthusiasm of being out with us.\u00a0 We try to make sure she sits or lies down at all times but she just can\u2019t seem to let her guard down. Since we sold our crossover SUV and only drive a normal sedan, it\u2019s even more important that we keep her restrained somehow.<\/p>\n However, a harness doesn\u2019t do any good if it doesn\u2019t actually do what it\u2019s supposed to. Did you know that not all dog harnesses for the car are made equal? Subaru of America, Inc. and the Center for Pet Safety (CPS)<\/span>\u00a0did a study of how several harnesses fared with crash test doggies<\/a>. Only one made the cut \u2013 Sleepypod\u2019s Clickit. That was reason enough for me to want to use it!<\/p>\n From the study:Proven Car Safety for Dogs<\/h3>\n
\nThe overall results of the testing indicated Sleepypod\u2019s Clickit Utility Harness as the clear top performing harness brand, as it was the only harness tested to consistently keep a dog from launching off of the seat and the only restraint deemed to offer substantial protection to all passengers, including the dog, in the event of an accident. If a pet launches off of the seat, it can strike a human passenger or risk serious contact injury to the dog from internal structures in the car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
