Trail Tested Promise

Answer the call of the open road with your No. 1 canine co-pilot and the Load Up Harness - a crash tested dog harness designed to travel to and from adventures. Built with strength-rated hardware and components, the Load Up Harness has been designed to be easy to put on, comfortable over long hauls, and able to withstand the rigors of a vehicle crash.

Load Up™ Car Harness: Testing & Design

It was a request we heard often from our customers: "a vehicle restraint harness, but constructed from quality materials... and one that's comfortable and my dog wouldn't mind wearing."

RUFFWEAR is YESWEAR
The Load Up Car Harness feels sturdy and well-made. Easy to put on and take-off. Great we're able to give her freedom while being safe in the car.

Perfect for road trips
Kept my 70lb pup safe and secure in the back seat on our trip from California to Massachusetts. It still had enough give for him to be able to sprawl out and change positions, but kept my mind at ease that he wouldn’t go flying off the seat if we needed to brake suddenly. Only suggested improvement would be to add a clip in front or on top for added versatility to use with a leash at rest stops.

Safe & Secure
These fit our pups well and keep them safe and comfortable in the back seat. They were wearing very minimalist harnesses previously and they could not relax on long drives. We’ve noticed that they were much more relaxed with their new Load Up Dog Car Harnesses on for the ride!

Substantial well made harness
I purchased a harness from another company and gave it away because it seemed flimsy. If I ever have a really hard stop the first one could have hurt my pooch. The Load Up is really well made and substantial and seems much safer. I highly recommend it for keeping your dog safe.

Car Harness
The load up harness is super easy to get set up in any car. There is a slight learning curve for adjusting it to get it to properly fit, but nothing too complicated. I enjoy that it doubles as a regular harness that we can use to take our pup out for potty breaks on trips.
