Abstract:     A vehicle safety restraint for canines is provided for safely securing a canine in a vehicle. The vehicle safety restraint for canines has an upper restraint designed to be positioned longitudinally over the canine's back during use. A lower restraint is designed to be positioned longitudinally against the canine's stomach during use. A neck strap is bifurcated and thus provides a collar throughwhich the canine's head and neck pass. A harness strap has a length which allows for ample canine mobility, while still resulting in sufficient confined boundaries for effectively restraining the canine in the event of a sudden stop or impact from an accident. A leash strap is looped around a prior fastened vehicle seat belt having been tightly adjusted against a vehicle seat so as to anchor the vehicle safety restraint for canines.
