Sadly many owners still believe that if their dog isn't being vocal about their pain, they must not be feeling it.

We know how far this is from the truth

Celebrate International Dog Day! 🐕🐾🦴🐶

04/07/2023

Today is Pets Travel Safely Day, founded by Claire Pets2Places. (1st July is also the day that seatbelts became compulsory in the UK in 1991).

Claire runs a pet taxi service so I bet she’s come across a few odd & frankly dangerous ways of people transporting their pets!

Rule 57 of the highway code states When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly. A seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or dog guard are ways of restraining animals in cars..”

A secured crate would be a great option for keeping your dog safe, but it’s not always practical or possible and seatbelt and harness combo is great but there’s always the worry that your dog will slip around.

So what’s the alternative? Well, funny you should ask! 😉

I’ve been developing and testing what we are calling the Car Cube, and I’m pretty excited about it, want to know why? Here’s a few reasons….

🐾Ideal for nervous travellers or those that get car sick;
🐾Easy access for older dogs;
🐾Eliminates the need for a crate in the car boot;
🐾 Leaves seats free in the back while letting the dog travel beside family members;
🐾Allows owners to keep their dog closer to them while travelling.
🐾Frees up boot space
🐾And of course, keeps the car clean!

I’m so excited about it, that I’m telling you while it's still in pre production! I’d love to know your thoughts – and if you’d like learn more or pre-order, drop me an email to [email protected].

Travel safely everyone!

This helpful information not only relates to dogs with mobility issues but also for agility dog’s doing contacts.
The less fur between pads the more easily they can feel what’s under their feet.
