Do You Transport Your Dog in the Car Trunk? The Danger Waiting There Is Huge!
You got a dog and started traveling with it, and transporting it in the trunk of your car seemed like the most practical solution. It may seem logical at first. However, traveling in the trunk exposes your dog to enormous danger.

Many articles on the internet say that a dog needs enough space during transport so it can stretch and lie comfortably. Because of this, many owners believe that placing their dog in the trunk is a good way to provide that desired space.
What those articles usually do not mention is the danger waiting for your pet in the trunk. Unfortunately, even today many experts still recommend transporting dogs there. The trunk of a car has two main purposes. The first is to carry luggage and the second is to protect passengers sitting in the rear seats. In a rear-end collision, the trunk acts as a deformation zone that absorbs the impact energy of the car crashing into you. If your dog is in the trunk at that moment, its chances of survival are almost zero. The dog hits the hard parts of the vehicle and is exposed to extreme forces.
What happens in a frontal collision? The dog is not in the deformation zone, but its body stops against the rigid back of the rear seats, which cannot absorb the energy.
In both cases enormous g-forces act on the dog’s body, causing severe internal injuries that are often fatal.

Today there are much safer and more comfortable ways to transport dogs in cars, so there is no need to risk the life of your beloved pet.

Traveling With Your Dog by Car? In a Crash Your Dog Can Turn Into a Cannonball!
Passenger cars are primarily designed for transporting people, and their main priority is to protect human passengers as much as possible.
However, when you travel with your dog, the situation changes. Safety experts discovered during crash tests that even a small dog weighing only a few kilograms can cause fatal injuries during an accident.
In a crash, the weight of an unsecured dog can increase to 30–40 times its normal weight. Simply put, your dog can turn into a thousand-kilogram projectile.

How to choose the right size?

SafeHug is developed using a different foundation than comparable products like show cages, which appear similar but are not engineered for automotive use. For this reason, let us first provide some theoretical background.

Car travel involves specific dynamics; the vehicle constantly brakes, accelerates, and corners. These movements subject dogs to centrifugal forces, compromising their comfort. Our development testing has shown that providing the right amount of space is key—and crucially, the dog must not have excessive room. The more space a dog has, the more likely they are to become restless, constantly shifting to compensate for the forces acting upon them. At the same time, giving a dog more room to move around the vehicle increases the risk of injury during sudden braking or unexpected manoeuvrers. SafeHug is engineered for optimal support; the dog can rest against the sides to counteract centrifugal forces while travelling. Ensuring the SafeHug is correctly sized is vital. An oversized SafeHug provides fewer contact points, which can prevent the dog from maintaining the proper position needed to stabilize themselves during movement.

So how to choose the right size of the SafeHug?

The SafeHug is designed to encourage your dog to lie in a 'crescent' position during travel. Please refer to the diagram below for instructions on how to measure your dog for the appropriate fit. For example, if your dog's length is 63cm, you should choose between size 60 or 65.

A smaller size is typically more suitable for dogs prone to travel anxiety or motion sickness. If your dog travels without any difficulties, size 65 is a viable option.

Should you have any doubts regarding the correct size, please contact us at info@safehug.eu We’ll be happy to help. info@bezpecnesepsem.cz.
