Harness for safe animal retention

A device for retaining an animal, the device comprising:

• a harness comprising at least one flexible material, the harness configured to be selectively secured around a body of the animal;
• a left-side cranial retainer coupled to the harness and comprising a left-side longitudinal member configured such that a longitudinal axis of the left-side longitudinal member is oriented substantially parallel to a dorsal-ventral axis of the animal in use, the left-side cranial retainer defining a cavity extending through the left-side longitudinal member and along the longitudinal axis of the left-side longitudinal member;
• a right-side cranial retainer coupled to the harness and comprising a right-side longitudinal member configured such that a longitudinal axis of the right-side longitudinal member is oriented substantially parallel to the dorsal-ventral axis of the animal in use, the right-side cranial retainer defining a cavity extending through the right-side longitudinal member and along the longitudinal axis of the right-side longitudinal member;
• a left-side retention strap received within the cavity defined through the left-side longitudinal member, the left-side retention strap including a first end fixed to the harness and an opposing second end;
• and
• a right-side retention strap received within the cavity defined through the right-side longitudinal member, the right-side retention strap including a first end fixed to the harness and an opposing second end,
• wherein the second end of the right-side retention strap and the second end of the left-side retention strap are configured to selectively couple together to secure the animal to the device, in use.

A device for retaining an animal,

• a left-side cranial retainer coupled to the harness and comprising a left-side longitudinal member configured such that a longitudinal axis of the left-side longitudinal member is oriented substantially parallel to a dorsal-ventral axis of the animal in use;
• and
• a right-side cranial retainer coupled to the harness and comprising a right-side longitudinal member configured such that a longitudinal axis of the right-side longitudinal member is oriented substantially parallel to the dorsal-ventral axis of the animal in use,
• wherein each of the left-side longitudinal member and the right-side longitudinal member extends vertically lower than a lowest point of the harness, in use.
