You know the drill... You get in the car, your dog jumps happily into the back seat, the sun is shining and it seems like an ordinary drive.
Until you suddenly have to brake hard.
In a split second, everything changes. Your dog, who was just lying quietly, shoots through the car.
No belt. No protection. Your heart skips a beat.
Research shows that 32% of dog owners do not secure their dog in the car.
In a 50 km/h collision, a dog from 20 kg with a force of as much as 500 kg be hurled forward, with all the attendant risks for both dog and occupants.
This happened to Chantal. During a drive, her dog Boris jumped from the trunk over the back seat.
He got stuck between the chairs, and instinctively Chantal reached back to help him.
She didn't look at the road for a few seconds....
A few seconds that were enough to collide with her predecessor on the highway.
Fortunately, they can recount it.
And it's stories like these that inspire us at DogSeat, to do even better.
We believe every dog deserves the same protection as a child.
That is why we have developed car seats that are not only stylish and comfortable, but also truly safe. We manually adjust safety with every design and check every seat. We make continuous improvements.
All this so you can drive with peace of mind, whether it's just around the block, or a road trip across Europe. Because, we as owners are responsible for our dogs, and they deserve only the very best.
