Sleepypod®, a Pasadena-based company renowned for its innovative pet products, has introduced the Clickit Range, a revolutionary car safety harness designed specifically for sighthound dogs. Known for their distinct physical characteristics—long legs, deep chests, and wiry bodies—sighthounds have unique needs when it comes to car travel safety. The Clickit Range is designed to address these challenges, ensuring that sighthound pets are safely restrained while on the road.
Sighthounds, such as Greyhounds, Whippets, and Salukis, have an anatomy that sets them apart from the typical dog shape. Their deep chests, slim waists, and elongated limbs make it difficult to fit them with standard car harnesses, which are often designed for more average dog body types. Due to their unique build and different center of gravity, traditional harnesses often fail to provide the proper restraint, leaving these dogs vulnerable in the event of a crash.
As Michael Leung, Sleepypod’s lead product designer and co-founder, explains, “Like humans, dogs come in all shapes and sizes, so car harnesses designed for the average dog shape do not address the unique sighthound shape. The sighthound characteristics of a deep chest and skinny waist make it challenging to restrain these dogs whose center of gravity is different from the common dog shape.” Leung further emphasizes, “Building on Sleepypod’s multiple award-winning car safety harness designs, Clickit Range addresses the challenge of protecting dogs with the aerodynamic body and build of sighthounds.”

Sleepypod’s approach to pet safety extends far beyond traditional design practices. The company is committed to testing its products to the highest standards of safety, and the Clickit Range is no exception. In line with Sleepypod’s dedication to quality and safety, the harness has been crash-tested using the U.S.
DASH 1.0 is the first of Sleepypod’s eleven crash-test dummy pets to represent the sighthound dog shape, and the results were impressive. During the crash tests, the Clickit Range kept the dog simulant securely on the seat for the entire duration of the test, minimizing lift and rotation—critical factors in reducing potential injury during a car accident. These results underscore the harness’s effectiveness in providing protection for sighthounds, a breed often overlooked in car safety design.
In addition to Sleepypod’s internal crash tests, the Clickit Range was independently tested and earned a 5-Star certification rating from the Center for Pet Safety, an organization dedicated to advancing pet safety standards. This rating confirms that the Clickit Range is an excellent choice for dogs weighing up to 110 pounds, offering peace of mind to pet owners who want to ensure the safety of their sighthound companions during car rides.
Clickit Range is designed to be both functional and comfortable for pets. With adjustable straps, high-quality materials, and an ergonomic design, it ensures that sighthounds enjoy a snug, secure fit without compromising comfort.
The Clickit Range will be available for purchase in Spring 2025, and customers can order directly from Sleepypod’s official website at sleepypod.com. The product launch is highly anticipated, as it promises to set a new standard in pet safety for dogs with unique body types. With the introduction of the Clickit Range, Sleepypod continues to lead the way in creating innovative, safety-tested products for pets.
