Dog Lead | SecureRide Headrest Car Restraint, Adjustable & Lightweight — Small Dogs & Cats

Car Dog Lead: Calmer, Safer Journeys for Small Dogs

Does your little dog bounce around the back seat, try to climb onto your lap or slide off the seat every time you brake? The SecureRide car dog lead loops around the headrest of your car seat and clips onto your dog's harness, helping keep small dogs settled in their seat so you can concentrate on the road.

Picture a Saturday drive to the coast: your Dachshund curled up on the back seat, gently restrained, instead of scrabbling between the seats at every roundabout.

Simple Headrest Attachment

Loop, Clip and Go

Loop the strap around the posts of the car seat headrest, then clip the other end onto your dog's harness. It takes seconds to fit, needs no tools and leaves the seatbelt buckles free for your passengers. Use it on the back seat for the safest ride.

Helps You Follow the Highway Code

Rule 57: Dogs Must Be Suitably Restrained

The Highway Code (Rule 57) asks drivers to make sure dogs are suitably restrained so they can't distract you while driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly. Clipped to a well-fitted harness, this car lead helps keep your small dog in place on every journey.

Adjustable Fit for Small Dogs and Cats

Set the Right Length

The adjustable strap lets you set a length that suits your pet and your car: enough room to sit or lie down comfortably, but short enough to stop them reaching the front seats or the footwell. It's designed for small dogs and cats.

Light, Compact and Durable

Made from durable nylon and weighing just 79 g, the lead is easy to leave in the glovebox or door pocket, so it's always there when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it attach?

Loop the strap around the posts of your car seat headrest and clip the other end to your pet's harness. No tools are needed and it fits in seconds.

Will it fit my car?

It fits most car seats with a headrest mounted on posts, which is the case in most cars. We recommend using it on the back seat.

Do I have to restrain my dog in the car?

The Highway Code (Rule 57) says dogs should be suitably restrained so they can't distract you or be injured if you stop quickly. A car restraint lead clipped to a harness is a simple way to do this for small dogs.

Is it suitable for bigger dogs?

No. It's designed for small dogs and cats. For medium and large dogs, choose our DriveSafe car seat belt lead or browse our dog car accessories.

Can I attach it to my dog's collar?

No. Always attach it to a well-fitted dog harness. A sudden stop could put dangerous pressure on your dog's neck if the lead is clipped to a collar.

Can I use it for my cat?

Yes, it suits cats too. Use it with a well-fitted cat harness and keep the strap short.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied, get in touch and we'll arrange a refund or exchange.
