Families in the United Kingdom love to treat their dogs as part of the family and
ensure that the dog has involvement in all their activities whether its for going on long walks, camping or other fun road trips around the country. Dogs are the key to happiness in many peoples eyes; they provide so much laughter, comfort and entertainment and bring many families together.
When youre travelling with your dog you need to make them as comfortable as you would with your children. This doesnt mean you have to give your dog a fluffy cushion and fasten them in a seat belt in the back of the car but instead you need to ensure you have the right safety equipment to keep them comfortable and for you to be less distracted when driving.
A dog car cage can be bought to fit the exact style and make of your car, it needs to be bought to fit exactly because all car boots have different sizes and, if you dont get the right one then it defeats the object of keeping your dog safe and comfortable as it wont slot in properly. The cages sound a lot crueller than intended and they are solely designed to make sure your dog isnt thrown around in the boot when youre turning corners or driving faster on the motorway.
You can make the cages as comfortable and homely as possible for your dog by slotting its dog bed inside so it can sleep on the long car journeys. What many people dont realise is if your dog isnt protected in a cage in the back of your car and you have a sudden crash your dog could be thrown out of the windscreen at a lightening speed killing itself and, seriously harming the passengers along the way.
This isnt a nice piece of information to be informed but it is to enlighten you of the dangers of if you do not have the correct safety equipment such as a cage in the boot of your car then these could be the consequences of not having one. The safety equipment doesnt cost a lot of money and the price you pay for one is much more beneficial than the price you would pay if you and your dog werent protected properly. Do your research into the best equipment for you to use on your car journeys so you can have peace at mind and a safe and happy future of car journeys with your family and pets.
