Thule Cappy Dog Car Harness, Large (771003)
The Thule Cappy dog harness, model 771003, is a step-in harness intended to secure a large dog in a car using a seatbelt passed through rear loops. Adjustable straps, padded mesh panels and a leash loop also support day-to-day handling.
At a glance
- Rear loops allow a vehicle seatbelt to pass through the harness, which the listing says helps limit forward movement.
- Step-in construction avoids pulling the harness over a dog's head.
- Separate adjustment straps are intended to be set once without changing the opening and closing adjustment.
- Padded mesh panels are described as providing airflow and soft support. The title also claims easy cleaning.
- The listing describes the harness as crash-tested and TÜV approved. These are manufacturer claims, not independent verification here.
