Thule Cappy crash-tested dog harness, Small, no. 771001
Cappy is a crash-tested harness designed for car journeys. It uses an existing rear seat belt - no other parts are required - which allows the dog to stand up or sit down, but limits front to back and side to side movement.
The dog steps into the harness - Cappy is much easier to use than a pull-over-the-head type of harness - which is then clipped together across the back. Padded mesh panels provide breathability and comfort, and the whole harness is designed to be easily wiped clean.
There are twin leash attachment rings; Cappy is suitable as a short-term walking harness, but most customers will think it a bit too robust for everyday walking use.
There are three sizes; this page is for the Small size. If it's not obvious which size to choose, be sure to look at the the Fit Guide, found on the Fitting instructions and videos tab.

It's very important that your dog is suitably restrained when it's travelling in the car with you. It's the law and the law is written with the safety of both dogs and human passengers in mind.
Cappy is a bluesign product, which means that the textiles from which it's made, indeed the whole production process, meet strict safety and environmental standards for minimising the use of chemicals, and for energy consumption, water consumption, carbon emissions, and the health and safety of the workforce.
Other features and specifications:
- This Small size is crash tested to 11kg
- Weight 0.3kg
- Suitable for dogs with a neck circumference between 34cm and 42cm, and a chest measurement between 47.5cm and 63.5cm
- Four adjustment points, which only need adjusting the first time the harness is fitted, provide for an excellent all round fit
- The chest area is wide, to distribute the load widely under braking, and also well padded for both comfort and safety
- The seat belt is passed through the two rear handles - there's lots of space, so this is easy to do
- The Cappy can also be used with a lead, so is convenient when you need to stop during the journey
It's important to use this harness on the rear seats only - having a dog on the front passenger seat might be distracting, even if properly restrained, and who knows how much the restrained dog might move from side to side in a heavy braking or crash situation.
