- We get this question a lot — and the truth is, there’s no such thing as a single “weight rating.” If another brand claims otherwise, they’re not being honest. Why? Because car accidents are dynamic. If we said “60-lb rating,” what does that even mean? What kind of crash is that for? 60lb dog in a fender bender or a head-on collision?
- Car accidents don’t follow a script — they’re all different. A head-on collision can generate nearly 25x the force of a fender bender. The speed, angle of impact, size of your dog, and even the type of vehicle all change the forces at play. Without that context, a “60-lb rating” is meaningless — and nothing can fully protect a 60-lb dog in a severe head-on collision.
- Here’s what we can say: if your dog is currently unrestrained, the Bark Belt adds a critical layer of protection they’ve never had before. It’s engineered for real-world crash scenarios, built from seat belt-grade materials, and crash-tested with instrumented canine dummies. While no restraint can guarantee safety in the most extreme crashes, the Bark Belt is designed to protect your dog when it matters most.

- Every Bark Belt goes through two layers of testing: crash testing for safety and quality testing at the factory for strength and consistency.
- We built our own crash testing program using instrumented canine dummies and ran frontal crash tests to measure real forces on a dog in a collision. Why frontal crashes? Because they’re the most dangerous — producing over 25x more force than a typical fender bender.
- Beyond crash testing, every component, from the seat belt webbing to the metal hardware — is tested at manufacturing to meet strict strength and durability standards. We don’t just prototype for function. We engineer for impact.

THOSE EXTRA SPECIAL DETAILS
HARDWARE STRENGTH TESTING
We don’t just crash test the full Bark Belt. Each metal component, like our carabiner hook, is individually load tested to ensure it can handle serious tension and repeated force. It’s strength you can trust, even in high-impact scenarios.
No Secondary Collisions
In a crash, the Bark Belt prevents your dog from slamming into hard surfaces like the dashboard, seat back, or floor. The result is no impacts, no sliding, and no ejection. What you're seeing is complete restraint in action when it matters most.

PROTECTION WITH FREEDOM
The Bark Belt keeps your dog safe without locking them down. It allows enough room to sit, lie down, or look out the window while still keeping them secure in case of a sudden stop or crash. Comfort and safety work together here.
