6. What is the Dog Safety Bridge, why do I need it and how do I install it?
The DOG SAFETY BRIDGE is available in two versions - "Regular" and "Professional". It is used as a substructure for the DOGSTYLER® for car seats and rear seats from size "S" upwards.
The DOG SAFETY BRIDGE straightens the seat recesses on the car seats and the back seat - because, as we all know, these are made for us humans. As a result, your dog will have a better stand in the DOGSTYLER® - he will automatically feel more comfortable, safer and can relax more quickly. In addition, the foot space is covered and thus gives the DOGSTYLER® dog seat additional stability.
The "Professional" version also compensates for the angle of the back seat - so that the DOGSTYLER® really stands horizontally on the back seat.
The DOG SAFETY BRIDGES are simply hooked into the ISOFIX system of your vehicle.

7. What happens if I am rear-ended or the car rolls over?
One thing first: Statistically speaking, most road accidents take place in urban traffic. These are mainly accidents during turns (i.e. with a side impact).
More than 80% of all accidents involving personal injury are such side impact accidents - and the driver and passenger have just about 15cm of crumple zone. Rear-end collisions are relatively rare - in addition, the crumple zone in the boot is many times greater than that available to the driver himself (in the case of higher accident risk). In this case the DOGSTYLER® has the great advantage that it can be crushed - i.e. it does not break, no sharp product parts drill into the dog and it protects the dog much better than any box pallet. Should the worst case scenario occur and the vehicle roll over, the integrated DOG CLICK & SAFETY belt system prevents the dog from becoming a dangerous projectile in the car. . It is therefore essential to ensure that the dog is attached to CLICK & SAFETY by means of a harness - there is a risk of strangulation when wearing a collar.
8. my dog is safer in a metal box - Really?
We claim that your dog is safer in a car when he falls softly.. During braking or an impact, strong forces act on the dog's body. If he flies unbraked against the hard interior lining of the car or against hard bars or metal walls, he can suffer serious injuries in the form of bruises, broken bones and internal injuries. We have put together all information on the subject of "Safe dog transport in the car" and DOG SAFETY SEAT for you under the following link: Here you can find further information
9. May I also transport several dogs in one DOGSTYLER®?
Yes, provided that the dogs get along well in a small space and that the chosen system offers enough room for all dogs.

12. Which size is right for my dog?
To find the right size for your dog, it is best to look closely at the inside dimensions of the DOGSTYLER® systems. For DOGSTYLER®s for car seats and back seats, you will find these in the size table below on the product page in the online shop. The respective interior dimensions of the DOGSTYLER® for the boot are also shown at the bottom of the product page once the configuration is complete.
In any case, you should note that your dog can still lie down comfortably in the dog seat and can also change its position. You should also make sure that there is not too much space available for your dog, so that he cannot be thrown around in the system - you may already know the principle from bicycle helmets, which also have to sit close to the head.
13. is the crockery included?
The harnesses you see in some pictures are not included in delivery. However, you don't need a special safety harness - a standard commercial dog harness is sufficient for our systems. Just make sure that it is well fitted and secure. In our stores you will find the harness that suits your dog and you can easily adjust it on our dressing tables with professional assistance.
