Doggie Style Pets "Travel Safety" Program
Your dog is part of the family, and their safety is in your hands. To protect yourself, your dog and your passengers, your dog needs to be properly secured while you're on the road.
At Doggie Style Pets we strongly advocate the use of a proper harness to keep your dog safe and eliminate distraction while driving. Its been reported that 86% of dog owners admit that having a dog in the car is distracting, yet only 1/3 use some type of restraint.
Buckling in your dog keeps them in place and allows you to keep your eyes on the road where they belong.
| Distracted driving is the #1 CAUSE of car accidents. | |
| 72% OF DOGS travel UNRESTRAINED in moving vehicles. | |
| It only takes 2 SECONDS OF DISTRACTION for an accident to occur. |
It's extremely dangerous for your dog to ride without a harness.
Having to abruptly slow down or jam on the brakes while driving is often unavoidable. Doing so from speeds of just 30 mph can instantly turn your dog into a projectile, hurling them into the back of a front seat, dashboard or worse—through a window.
| 30 MPH | WEIGHT X SPEED = FORCE |
20lb Dog = 600lbs of FORCE
40lb Dog = 1200lbs of FORCE
80-lb Dog = 2,400lbs of FORCE
In the event of a crash, airbags can also deliver a fatal blow. Similar to a young child, the front air bag system in a vehicle can be deadly to a dog during a crash if they're sitting in the passenger seat.
Dogs can go missing after a crash.
Many dogs go missing after running from a car crash. Confused or startled dogs can run into oncoming traffic and potentially impede first responders if they are not properly restrained.
When purchasing a travel harness, keep in mind that not all are created equal:
We've carefully selected the best in class, which are crash-tested to meet IIHS child safety standards. Rest assured knowing whether you choose PetSafe, SleepyPOD or Kurgo your dog will be comfortable and safely buckled into your car's seatbelt system.
