Pet Auto Safety.com carries a variety of pet auto safety products for dogs. Some of the best products are of the Kurgo Products brand. Motivation Design LLC is the company behind the Kurgo Products brand. Motivation Design LLC designed these products, manufactures them, and markets them. Their mission is to provide high-quality products for everyday use.Kurgo Products have been seen on many news features including Good Morning America, The Early Show, New York Times, and more. Although the products have not been crash tested, they have been rigorously tested for strength, durability, and effectiveness. Pet Auto Safety.com is proud to carry many of the Kurgo Products including the Backseat Barrier, Wander Hammock, and the Tru-Fit Smart Harness. The Kurgo brand Backseat Barrier helps to keep your dog in the back seat and from being a distraction to the driver. The Wander Hammock can do the same thing, although it does not go as high up as the Backseat Barrier. But the Wander Hammock has a wonderful feature in that it keeps your dog from being thrown onto the floor of your car. The Kurgo brand Tru-Fit Smart Harness not only keeps your dog from distracting the driver, it also keeps your dog from being ejected from the car in the event of a car accident. It is statistically proven that seat belts save lives for people - they can save lives for dogs too.

In 2008, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) show 28% of drivers and 50% of passengers who were killed in an automobile accident were not wearing their seat belts. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports, “Seat belts are approximately 50-percent effective at preventing fatality and save approximately 15,000 lives each year.” There is no study or reporting system on the fatality of pets involved in car accidents, but it would be logical to assume that seat belts for dogs can save lives too.I often hear people say that their dog is good in the car. This is usually in response to the idea of seat belts for dogs. While it is great that their dog is unlikely to cause driver distraction, we want people to consider their dog’s safety too. We do it for ourselves and our children, why not our pets?
Seat belts for dogs are more common than they were 10 years ago. They are also less expensive and better quality. Pet Buckle makes seat belts for dogs which have actually been crash tested. Seat belts for dogs can help with not only saving your dog’s life in a car accident, but they can also help by keeping your dog from being able to distract the driver.
We at MuttManagers, LLC are very excited to be teaming up with PetAutoSafety.com to offer BreezeGuard™ Screens to all of our customers. We are hoping that by joining together, we will reach more people and introduce them to easy ways to protect our dogs while traveling either just down the road to the park or across the country while on vacation.
Let’s make this a safer summer for our dogs by adding a seatbelt and a pair of BreezeGuard Screens. :0)
Safer Summertime Trips (Words worth repeating…)
Dogs and summertime rides just seem to go together! Dogs love to go with us everywhere. They love to stick their heads out the window while the vehicle is moving. And dogs love to move around the interior of the vehicle.
But while all these seem like perfectly harmless things to do, any one of these actions can place our dogs in danger. Why?
In a matter of minutes, the interior temperature of the vehicle can exceed safe limits for your dog, even when the temperature outside seems moderate.
Your dog can experience damage to its eyes from flying debris and wind. It can also be injured falling or jumping from the vehicle window.
In the event of an accident, your dog could become a projectile, being thrown about the cabin of the vehicle. This can injure not only your dog, but also you and any other passengers.
How can we make the journey safer for our dogs, while still allowing them to enjoy the summertime ride?
A pair of BreezeGuard™ Screens can allow for a cross breeze, keeping the vehicle cooler for your pet.
BreezeGuard™ screens allow your dog full access to the window, while still preventing it from falling or jumping out
BreezeGuard™ screens make your dog more likely to stay in one spot—near the BreezeGuard™!—where it won’t usually mind wearing a seatbelt.
Protecting your dog with the same love, care and concern you give to all the members of your family can be as simple as following these safety tips. Help make your summer travels even safer, so you and your dog can enjoy the open road.

Keeping your dog in a crate while in the car is safer than allowing your dog to have free access. Generally, crates are expensive online because their size and weight dramatically increase the shipping costs. A collapsible soft sided crate may be a good alternative.
The “It’z a Breeze Too” Collapsible Soft Sided Crate is lightweight and can be folded for easy carrying. It is easy to set up and easy to take down. The “It’z a Breeze Too” Collapsible Soft Sided Crate is also durable. It is made from durable coated nylon mesh fabric and has reinforced corners and connection points.
One drawback of a collapsible soft sided crate is that it may not strap into the car as well as a wire or plastic crate can. Kennel straps may make the crate collapse inward if the straps are too tight.
Both classy and cool, the Guardian Gear Single Car Seat Covers are a great way to protect the seat of your car from muddy paw prints and dog hair. These popular single car seat covers were out of stock for some time, but now they are back. The Guardian Gear Single Car Seat Covers are black with a single gold paw print and are made with 100% polyester lining. The Guardian Gear Single Car Seat Covers are able to fit most seats, including bucket seats, and are easy to use.
Remember, you shouldn’t let your dog ride in the front seat unless your car either does not have passenger side airbags or the passenger side airbags have been disabled. Airbags are designed for adult people, not children or pets.
We have recently added several new crate styles to Pet Auto Safety.com. Instead of a bulky plastic pet travel crate, try a folding wire pet travel crate. The Folding Wire Pet Travel E-Crate is great for dogs of all ages. It folds in seconds to an easy-to-carry suitcase size. While the Folding Wire Pet Travel E-Crate may be a bit heavy for shipping, it is very durable and the quality is well-worth the price.
The Folding Wire Pet Travel E-Crate can be used in the home or for travel. If you are traveling with your dog, your dog can ride in the car with their dog car seat belt while the crate fits nicely into your trunk or back seat without taking up too much space. Or your dog can ride in the crate while traveling. For additional safety during travel in the crate, consider using a Kennel Strap Restraint System to buckle the pet travel crate into your car.
Emma is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and it is her 1st birthday. For her birthday, her mom and dad bought her the Lookout Deluxe Pet Car Seat. Emma’s parents purchased the Lookout Deluxe Pet Car Seat after seeing it at our booth at the Kansas City Pet Expo. Since they lived near our location in Lawrence, Kansas, I met with them and delivered the product in person. I got to meet Emma in person too! She is a very sweet and friendly little dog. Emma’s parents says she is well-behaved too - and she loves her new Lookout Deluxe Pet Car Seat.
Happy Birthday Emma!!!
Putting your small dog in the front seat may not be safe if you have passenger side airbags. But if you don’t want your dog in the back seat (or if he won‘t stay in the back seat), consider a console pet car seat. A pet car seat for the console of your car straps around the console. There is also a strap inside the console pet car seat which you would clip onto the back of your dog’s harness. The strap around the console and the strap to your dog’s harness helps keep your pet secure in his seat. The console pet car seat also allows your dog to visit you in the front without causing a distraction by climbing into your lap.
The Console Pet Car Seat by Snoozer comes in two sizes and various colors. It is also very well padded for comfort. The lamb wool interior liner of the Snoozer Console Pet Car Seat makes it cozy for your dog on those long road trips.
Does your dog try to get into the front seat while you are driving? Do they rest their front paws on the center console only to lose their balance and fall when you have to stop or turn? This can be quite a distraction to the driver. One way to keep your dog in the back seat is to use a dog car safety barrier.
A dog car safety barrier can be of metal, cloth, or netting. But if you have a small car, a metal or netting dog car safety barrier can be rather bulky and unsightly. So consider a cloth dog car safety barrier instead. Outward Hound makes a great cloth dog car safety barrier called the Front Seat Dog Car Safety barrier. This works great in keeping small to medium dogs in the back seat. It can also be a deterrent for large dogs. But just be aware that a determined large dog will be able to climb over this dog car safety barrier.
The Outward Hound Front Seat Dog Car Safety Barrier wraps around the headrests of the front seats at the top. Then wraps around the seat back and seat cushion at the bottom. This makes the Outward Hound Front Seat Dog Car Safety Barrier simple to use, effective for small to medium-sized dogs, and relatively inexpensive.
