Buckle up the dog in the car? Or would you rather secure it in the trunk with a grid or net? There are different ways to transport man’s best friend. But not all are equally safe or guarantee the protection of other occupants. ntv tested this together with the ADAC.
For example, many dogs are secured with a seat belt like their masters. They are usually easy to handle, but they also pose a risk of injury to the animal. That’s why the straps have to be specially designed for four-legged friends and fit so tightly that the dog isn’t thrown forward in the event of an impact.
The same danger emanates from separating nets or separating grids, behind which the four-legged friend can move freely: in the event of a collision, the animal’s body can be thrown around uncontrollably. Only the other occupants are relatively safe with this transport solution.
