The Color & Gray Dog Seat Belt Adaptor keeps your dog away from the driver by securing into the seat belt clips on the back seat while also keeping your dog safe and secure.

How to use the seat belt adapter

The adapter was designed for use with IDC® Powerharness with Side Rings. It is recommended two seat belt adapters should be connected, one to each side ring of the Side Ring harness and clipped into the seat belts either side.

It can be attached in two easy steps:

• Attach the clip on the Color & Gray Dog Seat Belt Adaptor to the side ring on your IDC® Powerharnesses with Side Rings.
• Clip the universal buckle adaptor into your car’s seat belt.

WARNING: Do not attach the Seat Belt Adapter only to the Central Ring located at the top of IDC® Powerharnesses.

Choosing a harness that has the best lead attachment for your dog depends on your walking needs and how well trained your dog is on leash.

Dog harnesses come in three types of lead attachment:

1. Front leash attachment
2. Back leash attachment
3. Duel-clip front and back attachment

Here at Julius K9 all of our leads have back leash attachment, but with our IDC® Control Y Belt With Front D-Ring attachment you can turn any of our IDC® Powerharness products into a Front leash or Duel-clip harness.

Below we breakdown the benefits and potential draw backs of each leash attachment type.

Back leash harnesses

2020 was the worst year for dog thefts in the UK and has continued to be a huge problem in 2021, with an estimated 250% increase in dognappings nationwide. Dogs have been stolen from outside shops, robbed from owners at knife point, but are most commonly taken from people’s gardens. More sophisticated criminals have even posed as RSPCA officers.

It’s an unsettling reality for dog owners across the country. Below we have advice on how you can best protect your dog from being stolen, and what you need to do if thieves do take your dog.

For all those wondering what happened to our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/JK9UK/) it was removed without warning or explanation by Facebook.

We have been in contact with Facebook over the last few weeks about why they removed our official UK page but they were unable to give us an answer. We were simply told that the page “must have violated Facebook policy”. When we asked for more details on how our page could have violated policy, they couldn’t tell us, or explain in anyway why the page was deleted.

This is extremely frustrating. We have only ever shared blog posts, interacted with customers, and promoted sales and special offers on our page. We have literally no idea how anything we have ever posted could have violated any Facebook policies. Again, they offered us zero warning about this removal, didn’t even inform us it was removed, and couldn’t provide a single reason why it was removed.

We understand

It is recommended that you hand wash all of our harnesses. In this quick guide we breakdown the best methods of keeping your official JULIUS-K9® dog harness clean and fresh.

Basic washing instructions:

• Hand wash only
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean
• Do not tumble dry

Hand wash cleaning guide:

1. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe off excess mud.
2. Remove all the hook-and-loop labels from the side of the harness. These should be cleaned separately with a warm damp cloth as tough brushes can scrub off the lettering. This will also allow you to wash away any fur and grim built up on the fasteners.
3. Fill your sink or a tub full of hot water and give the harness a good soaking.
4. Using a brush and washing up liquid start scrubbing away
