Safe, comfortable and quiet. You don’t have a doll on board. Your dog needs special care and accessories whenever he travels by car.
He is another passenger. In the event of an accident, his weight is multiplied. For example, in the event of a collision at only 50 km/h, a medium dog of about 20 kilos would increase his weight to 700 kilos.
Therefore, the first thing you have to take care of is the safety of the dog in the car: for its own good and for that of all of you who travel inside.
But, nevertheless, he is not just another passenger. Dogs get stressed locked up, they need to drink or they can’t tell you that “how much is left”.
So you also have to take care of its comfort, especially if you are going to take a long trip.
These 5 accessories will be essential for traveling with your pet:
- the transporter
- The separation grid
- The cover for the seat
- the drinking fountain
- food bag
