There are a lot of products available on the market today to aid with the transportation of dogs in cars. Dog guards are one of those products and they can be a great choice for many pet parents. However, did you know that there is a vast range in quality and performance in dog guards? The result is that you may have some pre-conceived ideas about dog guards, that are outdated and not true of the Travall dog guard. This post sheds some light on some common myths about dog guards that we hear. Find out what sets the Travall Guard apart from those lesser dog guard variants.
Myth 1: Rattles even on smooth roads
This is one of the myths about dog guards that we hear most frequently. While that may be true of universal dog guards, it certainly isn’t the case with a Travall Guard. Travall’s dog guards are made for each specific car make, model and production year. What this means is that you get a precision fit. Once installed you won’t hear a peep from the dog guard whether the road surface is smooth or riddled with potholes.
Myth 2: Don’t work with child car seats
Travall Guards are fully compatible with child car seat tether points. This means that there’s no problem installing a child car seat and a Travall dog guard in the same vehicle. In fact, doing so would be encouraged to provide additional protection to passengers, particularly those in rear-facing car seats.
Myth 3: Impede driving vision
Some drivers find that universal dog guards can affect their rear view when driving. Travall put a lot of consideration into the design of the Travall dog guard to make sure that this would not be an issue. The flattened oval profile or the Travall Guard prevents vision issues and also enhances the strength of the dog guard’s frame.
Myth 4: Don’t come with coordinating accessories
For some proud car owners, ensuring that the car accessories coordinate is a priority. Travall’s product range is designed to fully coordinate, to give a premium, polished appearance in the vehicle. So whether you opt for a dog guard and boot divider, or a dog guard, boot divider, tailgate barrier and cargo mat, you know everything is designed to work perfectly together.
Myth 5: Don’t work in cars with ceiling-mounted rear seat belts
There are few things more irritating than a universal dog guard collapsing on a journey because the ceiling mounted rear seat belts have dislodged it. There’s no such worry with a Travall Guard. Because Travall’s dog guards are made for each specific make and model, features such as ceiling-mounted rear seat belts have been taken into consideration in the guard design. The result? No problem with using the seat belts, and no issue with the installation of the guard.
