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.
