Can this clip be trusted to restrain a 95+ pound dog?

Hi Marissa, Yes it should hold your dog without any problem. The weakest parts would be the clip on one end and the steel seat belt insert. The clip has be in design for over 100 years and will be no problem and the seat belt insert is designed for people of all weights so that can't be a problem and the webbing is tested by seat belt manufactures. The whole item can only be manufactured by seat belt company because they are the only company's with the specialty machines to assemble this item so you have nothing to worry about. If I trust it with my two dog one 75 lbs and one 40 lbs and I am an engineer and a mechanic you will not have any problems with strength. Bruce

My 75 lb lab jumped out of the back seat when we opened the door and it barely resisted. The stitching in the strap came undone. I still think it would help slow down momentum in a car accident but it will not completely restrain them.

We have a 75 lb Setter, but I believe it's reliable depending on the harness you use. We purchased the thickest harness. Sorry I don't have the packaging to see if there's a recommended weightLimit. I think it's also important you keep the length short so there is little slack for your dog to move around too much. We tried it with out 8 mo puppy and it was not a good solution, even with a harness that fit her. She chewed on the other seatbelts and anything else within her reach, so car/crate only for her.

No! My brother's 65 pound dog bent the clip that hooks into the seatbelt and chewed through leash. If your dog doesn't chew or use brute force constantly pulling on the clip, you'll be fine. But my brother's medium size dog bent it in about an hour of pulling to go from side to side in the car and try to jump up into the front seat. I would recommend spending a little more to get something that's made a little bit better.

Yes, the clip is very sturdy and strong. As part of our server-cooling system, we have several of these clamped to studs and shelving and the grip hasn't faltered.

I think it's a little to large to clip to a dog collar I have big dogs and I don't think it would be easy to do. It would work great if you could though

Yes. I attach mine to my seat buckle for both of my dogs. 1 clip per buckle.

Yeah you can clip it to itself. But if your dog ways more then 40 pounds it won't last more then 3 months. It's just a single crimp holding the clasp on. The one at Walmart with a loop is much better.

Should be fine. I have big dogs & it holds them securely yet isn't so heavy it weighs them down.

Hello, I use it on my 90 lbs Shepherd, and it has removable links so you should be OK

Only the human can prevent an attack. I'm an animal control officer and am an advocate for maintaining your dog as close to you as possible, no matter the size of the dog. I feel a regular collar and a 1 ft (12 inch) lead works good. My Lab slipped out of this gentle lead when a small dog scared him. I felt I secured it as much as possible but my dog is intelligent enough to know how he can get out of it. If you feel your dog had the same level of intelligence as this, I would not recommend the gentle lead for you.

Hi I never tried .The clips do have numbers so I don't see why not.I think the onky diffrence is that this clipper isn't loud so it won't scare the dogs.

I got this for a husky. But the clips are adjustable and I'm pretty sure you will be able to get it around ur dog with no problem

I don't see why it would not work. I have a 65lb GSD mix that it works great on. One word of caution though, after using one that worked great for almost 2 years, I decided to purchase 2 more. One was perfectly fine, just like the first one I purchased, but one had too small of a "nub" that holds the collar clip to the leash so it popped off when we were out on our walk. Luckily my dog decided to obey my "sit and stay" command until I could tie the leash on his collar to get him home.

I don't think so. I used it on my 90lb lab, and the rear support strap was completely extended and really tight around his abdomen.

The clip is about 2.5 inches--I have used it with my 3 month old puppy, and it has worked well. She is now 11 months old, and it is still working well--and she is not that big of a lab for the breed. The clip is very light. The rope is light enough that it is moved around easily. Be sure to use good gloves when using the cord for hand safety.

Personally, I wouldn't go beyond 5 or 6 pounds. The straps might be uncomfortable. It has two metal hooks inside, however, I cut them both out. Because my dog is afraid of anything metal.

I'm sorry, you'll have to ask the manufacturer. I'm using it on a barrel chested 90 lb. dog it that helps at all.

It is pretty strong. Not as strong as a dog leash obviously, but strong enough to use every day (>10 times a day). The important thing is to wedge the clip in a fairly solid piece of clothing, like a coin pocket. Clamping on a belt loop is a lot less satisfying to use. I have been using it for a few months without trouble and in my opinion it has already been worth the pucrchase.

No we are using it for a 95 lb dog and it works well. We take it with us on trips and because it is portable wells well on taking with us.
