Bark Buckle UP is the recognized innovative leader and experts in pet auto travel safety. They evaluate pet products for safety functions, durability, quality, engineering, product design, and ease of use. Pet Auto Safety.com is proud to promote the same pet products as approved by Bark Buckle UP: the Pet Buckle Kennel Restraint System and the Pet Buckle Dog Seat Belt Harness. Both the Kennel Restraint System and the Dog Seat Belt Harness designed and manufactured by Pet Buckle have been crash tested. Due to the extreme cost of crash testing, this is a rare feature in manufacturers of the dog seat belt harness. Bark Buckle UP also has a stat-tracker program which collects statistics about pet auto safety. This information is then used in improving the laws for pet auto safety. Pet auto safety is important not just for your dog, but for you and others on the road as well.
Read some great information on the Maltese dog breed at our American Dog Blog. This article is dedicated to a sweel little Maltese dog breed named Noodle.
This is a photo of Maya in my car. Can anyone guess what is wrong with this picture? There are two things wrong:
1) Maya should not be in the front seat. My car has passenger side air bags and air bags are not safe for children or dogs. And since I can’t disable my passenger side airbags, Maya should always sit in the back seat.
2) Maya should not have her head out the window. Flying debris could hurt her sensitive nose or do damage to her eyes. I should put the window down a little for Maya to get a good sniff of the air, but not enough for her to stick her whole head out.
Just so you know, my car is parked in this photo. Maya is in the front seat with her head out the window but she is not really “riding” in the car. Nor was she left unattended in the car. I parked the car, let her in the front seat to look out the window, then took the picture. When I was done a minute later, I sent Maya to the backseat and put her back in her dog car seat belt. Then I got back into the car and drove her to the dog park for some fun and games.
Want to read a heartwarming story about a great dog who found a happy family on Easter? Her name is Caddy and she was named from the Cadbury egg candy. Her story is at the American Dog Blog.
This April, Pet Auto Safety.com features the Backseat Pet Car Barrier. This durable product, made by Kurgo, keeps your dog in the backseat while you drive. Keeping your dog in the backseat helps to prevent your dog from jumping into the front seat or licking your ear while you drive. Cell phones and CD players aren’t the only driver distractions!!
Another benefit of a pet car barrier is that if you were to get into a car accident with your dog riding in the car, your dog is less likely to become a dangerous projectile. A car accident can cause your dog to fly forward and into the windshield or into the back of your head, causing serious injury or even death for both you and your dog.
Pet Auto Safety.com has many pet car barrier brands on its site. The Backseat Pet Car Barrier made by Kurgo is unique in that it is made from a thick canvas cloth and it is taller than most other cloth pet car barrier brands.
