Look after your four-legged friend with a Travall dog crate.
Look after your four-legged friend and keep yourself on the right side of the law, with a Travall dog crate.
Millions of dog owners could be putting their four-legged friend in danger, as well as risking hefty fines by failing to restrain their dog properly in the car. Research carried out by dog travel solution experts Travall has found that nearly a third of dogs aren’t travelling safely in the car, and in over half of these cases, their owners are also risking a fine of up to £5,000 for violating section 57 of the Highway Code.
The Highway Code states that dogs must be restrained when travelling in the car, and yet over a fifth of those polled weren’t aware of this regulation. With an estimated 13 million pet dogs in the UK, Travall’s research suggests that in the region of two million dogs could be travelling in danger, as well as endangering any passengers travelling in the vehicle.
Travall’s new dog crate is TÜV SÜD certified – the same safety authority trusted for child car seats in Europe – offering genuine crash-tested protection rather than simple containment in the event of sudden stops or collisions.
The crate is tested at 50 km/h with forces up to 25x the dog’s bodyweight and only passes if the dog remains inside the crate, the door does not open and the structure does not fail. Testing even includes the worst-case scenario that the rear seats have been folded down.
Travall’s dog crate has excellent airflow and no distracting rattles or noise, to ensure dogs are calm and comfortable while travelling. It’s chew proof, durable, portable and comes with a two year guarantee.
