Give your doggo a safe ride

If fatality and injury can happen to hoomans in a car accident, it can happen to your doggos too! 

So safety first for your doggo! And let’s keep to a simple rule for all to follow…SEAT BELT ON, por favor!

Here’s 3 types of seat belts that you can use to keep your doggo safe during a car ride.

1. Doggo car seat belt attachment : 

 

This seat belt buckle is attached to the hooman seat belt in the car so it relies on the car’s seat belt mechanism which allows movement and yet locks upon sudden jerks, to prevent your doggo from flying out of the car.  This is our favourite seat belt design for the following reasons:

• It doesn’t take up the hooman seat belt buckle slot so you can still keep the hooman safe.  Smaller doggos can sit on the hooman’s lap whilst being attached to the hooman’s seat belt.
• It leverages on the car’s more secure seat belt system
• It allows your doggo to move around the car whilst still be buckled safely.

2. Doggo car seat belt with buckle : Simply insert one end of the seat belt into the car seat belt slot and hook the other end to your dog’s harness{do not hook to your doggo’s collar as the pulling force of the seat belt can hurt your doggo’s neck or spine during an impact incident. Here's a fit for purpose seat belt with buckle if you need one 

3. Doggo car seat belt with headrest loop :  This is another seat belt that doesn’t take up the hooman seat belt slot as one end of the seat belt is looped over your car headrest.  Hook the other end to your doggo’s harness instead of collar to avoid impact on your doggo’s neck or spine.  Unlike the car seat belt attachment, this design doesn’t leverage on the car’s seat belt mechanism and restricts your doggo’s movement by its fixed length. Hope you like what we have in store for you. 

Before we leave you to travel safely with your doggos, we have one final share about accident prevention…albeit a different type of accident.  We are referring to the pee and poop accidents that can happen in your car. Imagine what that means for your nice beautiful upholstery?  Check out some of our car seat hammocks/covers to keep your back seat accident free and still be able to see that your doggo is enjoying its ride!
