The most common image, the first that many of us come to mind when we think of a dog in a car, is that of the animal with its head stuck out the window, tongue in the wind. But pet owners know that’s a far cry from real life. A dog in a car is often messy, chaotic, and even dangerous to themselves and their owners. Hence, the tips for taking dogs in the car are vital. They need to be kept safe and secure while in a moving vehicle… while still having a certain sense of freedom.
For this very reason, we loved this dog crate designed by Hammacher. Designed to be a safe space for your pet while on a trip, short or long. Called Safer Automobile, it moves away from the image we have of an animal carrier, it looks more like a closed baby seat. It is placed behind the passenger seat and is attached to the headrest with a harness and a seat belt at the rear. So even when you drive fast, it will stay in place and your pet will be safe.
Made of lightweight polyester, its sides are made of breathable mesh so that the dog can breathe well and feel the breeze if the windows are rolled down. So he can also see the outside world, without fear that he might stick his head out of the car. There are zippered doors on both sides for easy access and also two pockets to store food, water or toys, with velcro closure.
To make your dog more comfortable, it includes a plush-lined pad. The whole set is also easy to clean, you can put it in the washing machine. And in case you don’t take your pet with you, it can be folded and stored as it takes up little space. They ask for 130 dollars for it… do you think it’s a lot or a little?
