PetBonus Dog Collar Safety Clip – Waterproof backup safety strap for harness and training leads (Green)
Product description
The essentials
If your dog is a bit of a puller, or you’re still working on training, a collar safety clip can be the difference between “almost fine” and a proper secure setup. This PetBonus Dog Collar Safety Clip is made to act as a waterproof backup strap/connector between a collar and a harness, so the collar and harness stay more reliably in place when your dog lunges, wriggles, or gets excited.
On paper, it’s aimed at everyday walks and training sessions—especially where accidents happen because something slips, loosens, or comes undone too easily. It’s not a full harness replacement, it’s the extra layer you add to the existing collar/harness setup.
Where it shines
The standout idea here is the “secure by design” approach. The safety clip uses a secure double-ended clasp with a 360° swivel quick clip action, which is intended to snap on quickly and allow movement without fighting against the lead. The clip is also described as requiring vertical pressure to release. That matters because it’s meant to stop your dog backing away or pulling out of the collar during movement.
For heavy-pulling dogs or training puppies, the intention is to provide more even weight distribution during pulling and keep the collar and harness more secure. In practical terms, imagine you’re working on “heel” near traffic or other dogs: as your dog surges forward, the connector is there to reduce the chances of the harness/collar connection coming loose.
Waterproof and odor control
Another selling point in the description is the waterproof rubbery coating, designed to cope with wet conditions like rain, mud and snow. If you walk in all weathers, that’s not just comfort—it’s also about keeping the connector in a usable state and avoiding lingering smells.
Cleaning is kept simple: it’s described as easy to wipe with a damp cloth. Still, keep your expectations realistic—this is a connector for outdoor conditions, not something that will magically survive every kind of grime without any effort. A quick wipe after a muddy walk is the sensible routine.
What it’s made for (and what to watch)
It’s described as suitable to “fit all collar and harness” setups by attaching to standard harnesses/collars such as gentle leader, flat buckle harnesses, easy walk harnesses, martingale collars, and similar types. That broad compatibility is helpful if you’re mixing training equipment or you’ve got more than one harness/collar.
That said, “fits all” is always something to treat carefully. Before buying, it’s worth checking that the clip can physically attach to your specific collar/harness design and that the connection route suits how your dog moves. If your current setup is unusual or you can’t align the clip so it bears load where you need it, it may not perform as intended.

Is it worth it?
This PetBonus Dog Collar Safety Clip is worth considering if you want a straightforward backup connector for walks and training—particularly if you’re dealing with heavy-pulling dogs or you’re trying to prevent escape moments caused by a collar/harness connection loosening.
You may want to skip it if your dog’s current setup already feels rock solid and you don’t have a specific need for a secondary safety connection. Also, if you struggle to route and attach clips neatly to your existing collar/harness, it may end up being fiddly rather than reassuring.
As a buying check, focus on fit with your exact collar/harness style, whether the clasp can sit securely, and whether you’re comfortable using it as a backup layer rather than expecting it to replace proper training or a well-fitted harness.
