THREE-POINT ANCHORING. SINGLE SEAT. STEEL CONSTRUCTION
KONG Ultimate Safety Tether – Three-Point Dog Car Restraint | Available at Boss Pets UK
Low stock: 2 left
A three-point car restraint that keeps your dog in a single seat – The KONG Ultimate Safety Tether anchors to the same three points used for child car seats – two at the base of the rear seat and one at the back – so your dog stays in one place rather than roaming the back of the car. Available at Boss Pets UK.
Designed for dogs a seat belt tether cannot hold – Active dogs on a standard tether can still reach the footwell, move across the whole back seat, or stand on the seat belt buckle and release themselves. Anchoring to three fixed points removes all three problems.
Use with a harness, never a collar – A tether attached to a collar can cause serious neck injury if the car stops suddenly. Always connect it to a properly fitted harness.

Benefits
Benefits

Clip in and go – Once fitted to the anchor points, only the harness clip needs attaching each trip.
How to Use
How to Use
Check your car first – You need two child seat anchor points at the base of the rear seat and a top tether point behind it. Your vehicle handbook will show where they are.
Fit a harness – Never attach a car tether to a collar. Use a properly fitted harness, every time.
Clip to the three anchor points – Attach the two lower connectors at the base of the seat and the third to the top tether point.
Attach to the harness and adjust – Set the length so your dog can lie down but cannot reach the front seats or footwell.
Check before every journey – Inspect the connectors and webbing, and replace the tether if anything is worn or damaged.
Never leave a tethered dog unattended – Unclip your dog before leaving the vehicle.
How It Works
How It Works
A seat belt tether has a single fixing point, so a determined dog can pivot around it — covering most of the back seat and, with enough slack, reaching the footwell. It also relies on the seat belt buckle, which a dog standing in the wrong place can release. The Ultimate Safety Tether solves both problems by using the anchor points built into modern cars for child seats: two rigid points low down at the seat base and a third behind the seat. Fixing at three points triangulates the restraint, so your dog is held within the footprint of a single seat rather than swinging around one point, and there is no buckle to press. Attaching to a harness rather than a collar spreads any load across the chest and shoulders instead of the neck.

Summary
Summary
The KONG Ultimate Safety Tether is a three-point in-car restraint for dogs, anchoring to your vehicle’s child seat fixing points — two at the base of the rear seat and one behind it — rather than a single seat belt buckle. This keeps your dog within a single seat, out of the footwell, and unable to release itself by stepping on a buckle. The length adjusts to suit any size of dog, and it is built from 85% steel with polyester webbing. Requires a vehicle with child seat anchor points and must be used with a harness rather than a collar. Available now at Boss Pets UK.
FAQs
FAQs
Will this fit my car?
It needs the child seat anchor points found in most modern cars: two at the base of the rear seat and a top tether point behind it. Check your vehicle handbook, as some cars have the lower points but no top tether, or place it on the parcel shelf or boot floor.
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 use a properly fitted harness.
How is this different from KONG’s other tethers?
The Seat Belt and Deluxe Swivel tethers each fix to one point. This fixes to three, which holds your dog in a single seat and removes the seat belt buckle a dog could release.
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.
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.
Can I still use the seat for a child seat?
Not at the same time on the same seat, since both use the same anchor points. Fit the tether to a seat that is not needed for a child seat on that journey.
Does it suit dogs of all sizes?
Yes. The length adjusts rather than coming in sizes, so one tether covers small to large dogs, provided the harness fits properly.
How long should I set it?
Short enough that your dog cannot reach the front seats or footwell, long enough to lie down comfortably.
Can I leave it fitted in the car?
Yes. Once attached to the anchor points it can stay in place, so you only need to clip the harness on each journey.
Where can I buy the KONG Ultimate Safety Tether in the UK?
It is available from Boss Pets UK with fast delivery.
