A straightforward car restraint that clicks into your seat belt buckle – The KONG Seat Belt Dog Tether keeps your dog secured in the back seat, using a metal latch plate at one end and a carabiner clip for the harness at the other. Available at Boss Pets UK.

Adjustable up to 22 inches – Set the length to suit your dog, allowing enough room to sit, stand or lie down while keeping them out of the front of the car. Built from 85% steel with polyester webbing.

Use with a harness, never a collar – A tether attached to a collar can cause serious neck injury if the car stops suddenly. Always clip the carabiner to a properly fitted harness.

Key Features

Adjustable up to 22 inches (56 cm) – Slide the adjuster to set the length that suits your dog.

Metal latch plate – Clicks straight into a standard seat belt buckle, with quick release when you need it.

Carabiner clip – Attaches to the D-ring on your dog’s harness.

85% steel construction – With 15% polyester seat belt webbing.

Fits most vehicles – Standard latch plate dimensions suit most cars, estates and SUVs.

Suits any size of dog – One tether, adjusted to the dog rather than sized for them.

Benefits

Helps you meet Highway Code rule 57 – Dogs must be suitably restrained in a vehicle so they cannot distract the driver or be thrown forward in a sudden stop.

Keeps the driver free to concentrate – A restrained dog cannot climb into the footwell or the front seats.

Set up in seconds – Click the latch plate in, clip the carabiner on, and you are ready.

Can stay in the car – Leave the latch plate buckled between trips so only the harness clip needs attaching.

Room to settle – Enough length to lie down rather than stand braced for the whole journey.

Simple to keep clean – Wipes down with a damp cloth after muddy walks.

How to Use

Fit a harness first – Never attach a car tether to a collar. Use a properly fitted harness, every time.

Click into the seat belt buckle – Slide the metal latch plate in until it clicks firmly into place.

Clip the carabiner to the harness – Attach it to the D-ring or harness attachment point, never to the collar.

Adjust the length – Short enough that your dog cannot reach the front seats, long enough to lie down.

Check before driving – Confirm the buckle, carabiner and strap are secure and free of tangles.

Never leave a tethered dog unattended – Unclip your dog before you leave the vehicle.

How It Works

The tether works by borrowing the strongest anchor point already in the car. The metal latch plate is built to the same dimensions as a seat belt tongue, so it clicks into the existing buckle rather than needing any fitting, and the buckle’s release button gives you a quick way to free your dog. The adjustable webbing then sets how far they can move. That length matters more than it might seem: too long and your dog can reach the front of the car, which defeats the purpose, while too short leaves them unable to lie down on a longer journey. Attaching to a harness rather than a collar spreads any load across the chest and shoulders instead of the neck, which is why every manufacturer of in-car tethers insists on it.

Why Choose

Uses the seat belt buckle – No headrest loops or straps to fit, and quick release when you need it.

The simpler of our two KONG tethers – If your dog tends to turn and twist the strap, the Deluxe Swivel Tether adds a rotating joint to prevent it.

Mostly steel – A more robust build than all-webbing alternatives.

From an established brand – KONG has built pet products for over fifty years.

Available at Boss Pets UK – Fast UK delivery available.

Common Uses

Everyday car journeys – School runs, vet trips and trips to the park.

Back seat travel – Wherever there is a seat belt buckle to click into.

Dogs that will not settle – Restraint keeps a restless dog out of the front of the car.

Second cars and lifts – Small enough to move between vehicles or keep spare.

First-time car travel – A straightforward starting point for puppies getting used to the car.

Summary

The KONG Seat Belt Dog Tether is an adjustable in-car restraint for dogs. A metal latch plate clicks straight into your vehicle’s seat belt buckle and a carabiner clips to your dog’s harness, with webbing that adjusts up to 22 inches so you can allow enough room to lie down while keeping your dog away from the front of the car. Built from 85% steel with polyester seat belt webbing, and suitable for dogs of any size. Must be used with a harness rather than a collar. Available now at Boss Pets UK.

FAQs

Can I attach this to my dog’s collar?

No, never. In a sudden stop the entire force would go through your dog’s neck. Always clip the carabiner to a properly fitted harness.

Does the law require me to restrain my dog in the car?

Highway Code rule 57 says dogs must be suitably restrained so they cannot distract you or injure you or themselves if you stop quickly. Failing to do so can support a careless driving charge, and insurers may take it into account after a claim.

How is this different from the Deluxe Swivel Tether?

This is the simpler version. The Deluxe adds a swivel joint that rotates as your dog turns, so the strap cannot twist and shorten — worth considering if your dog changes position often or you do long journeys.

Is a tether the same as a crash-tested restraint?

No. A tether prevents your dog moving around the cabin and distracting the driver. A crash-tested harness or a secured crate offers more protection in a collision, and it is worth understanding the difference when deciding what suits your journeys.

How long does it extend?

Up to 22 inches, around 56 cm. Set it short enough that your dog cannot reach the front seats, long enough to lie down.

Will it fit my car?

The latch plate is built to standard dimensions, so it fits the seat belt buckles in most cars, estates and SUVs.

Does it suit dogs of all sizes?

Yes. The strap adjusts rather than coming in sizes, so one tether covers small, medium and large dogs — provided the harness fits properly.

Can I leave it clipped in between trips?

Yes. Leaving the latch plate in the buckle means you only need to clip the carabiner to the harness next time.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry fully. Do not machine wash, as this can damage the webbing and hardware.
