About Us

Started by a Volunteer Fire Fighter / EMT

Domino was only 3 years old when she was thrown out of the jeep. Her best friend had buckled her in the back seat before they left the house. They were only 3 miles from home. Evidence on scene showed the car harness had failed... Domino had been thrown from the vehicle... she was injured.

I made a promise to a severely injured young lady that I would find her dog if she would let us load her into the ambulance... She didn't care about her own injuries... All she wanted... was her dog.

We never found Domino.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click on Down Arrow for answers... Contact the Big Dog if you have additional questions

Big Dog Seat Belts are Custom Built... are they adjustable?

The Big Dog Seat Belt is adjustable in the chest, neck and shoulder areas.

I build these based on a dogs body type, breed and age. Mixed breed dogs can be really tricky. Photos usually help me the most. That way I can visualize which parts went where.

With older dogs, body shape fluctuates by diet, stress and exercise. Rescue dogs in particular can have alot of weight to loose or gain.

There can be many variables to consider. The more information I can get about your dog the better things usually turn out.

Can my dog move around freely in the car?

No... Freedom of movement inside a vehicle is dangerous for the dog as well as every other occupant inside the vehicle. Restraint systems that use a tether for freedom of movement inside the vehicle are extremely dangerous. These can get tangled breaking legs and causing more serious, even fatal injuries during an accident.

The Original Big Dog Seat Belt is not just a fancy harness...

It is a Complete Seat Belt System... Designed and Built Exclusively for Big Dogs

Can my dog lay down wearing a Big Dog Seat Belt?

Yes...It is important for your dog to be able to sit up as well as lay down comfortably inside your vehicle. It is also important to check the fit and function of any restraint system. You should also take your dog out of your vehicle for exercise and restroom breaks often.

Why is the back seat the safest place for a dog?

The front seat... unless the airbag is disabled is basically a "Kill Zone" for your dog. Airbags deploy at over 200 mph. An airbag can kill even the biggest dogs. The Back Seat... During a rear end collision the back seat is utilized to protect the passenger by absorbing some of the impact. If a dog or other passenger is in the rear cargo area during this scenario they will be thrown into the rear door or rear glass window.

Why design a specialty training/walking harness for Big Dogs

A poorly designed harness or collar that controls the dog using any part of the neck has a real risk of causing severe and even permanent injuries. These injuries can include crushing, structural and even devastating neurological injuries. It is actually easier for a Big Dog to cause severe injuries to their own body just because they are so strong. An average dog has the pulling strength of 3 to 4 times their weight. Big Dogs can exceed 5 to 20 times their weight. This Specialty Harness is designed for difficult training scenarios often seen in rescues and older dogs. Designing a specialty harness that will avoid or prevent these injuries is part of our Mission... To design and build the safest , highest quality products for dogs and their people.
