SLINGGUARD A GAME CHANGER FOR TRAVELLING WITH DOGS
SLINGGUARD a game changer in transporting dogs in your car
Transporting dogs in cars has at least two challenges. One is that not all dogs love to travel, and when they feel unsafe or uncomfortable, they can become distressed. The second challenge is after transporting dogs there is often a mess left or damage in the car to deal with.
Elaine Healy was very familiar with these issues and wanted to resolve the constant problem of cleaning mud, sand and dog hair out of her SUV after every trip with her two lively border collies. As a dog lover, inventor, and business woman with an obvious flair for design, Elaine put her talents to good use and created SLINGGUARD dog car protectors.
SLINGGUARD’s strong and durable system is a game changer for transporting dogs of all sizes in safety and comfort, while also protecting the car from damage and making cleaning any mess a breeze.
SLINGGUARD is an Australian family-owned business where Elaine has designed a wide range of car safety essentials for dog owners who want to get out and about with their dogs in comfort and security.
SLINGGUARD products provide a safe and comforting environment
If dogs do not have a contained place in the car where they feel safe and comfortable, their behaviour can become unpredictable and they may distract, or physically hinder the driver, and cause an accident.
The back seat of a car can be unappealing for many dogs as they often cannot sit or lay down comfortably without sliding, and are afraid of falling into the footwell - they may feel the same in the rear of a car. This may make them dislike and fear car travel, and at their worst, they may need to be sedated for car trips.
A dog that is restrained by a walking harness is not only uncomfortable in a car, but is at risk of injury because it has been designed for walking, has not been strengthened and does not support them correctly! It is important to use a purpose-built restraint that anchors the dog safely without limiting its ability to move, stretch or lie down.
SLINGGUARD seat protector acts as a portable bed, but unlike an ordinary dog bed, SLINGGUARD straps in securely and stays put. The sides of SLINGGUARD zip up to form a strong, thick cocooned hammock, ensuring your dogs are safe, do not slip and are unable to fall into the footwell of the car.
With SLINGGUARD, your dogs might just become fans of travelling in the car, lose their fear and settle down quietly for the trip.
SLINGGUARD provides car protection too
SLINGGUARD’s three-layer design not only serves to provide comfort, strength and stability, but it also acts as a shield between your dog and the car’s interior.
The first layer is faux mink fur, which is not only soft and comfortable, but does a terrific job at repelling dirt and dog hair. The second layer is a waterproof padding, which increases comfort and acts as a buffer between wet dogs and the car’s interior surfaces. The third layer is 100 per cent waterproof dernier nylon, which is perfect if your dogs are wet from a swim or rain.
SLINGGUARD can also be used as a sling to easily carry sick or injured large dogs or animals to the car for transport to the vet. Being waterproof, there is no problem should they be sick or have an accident in the car, and if they are sore, there is no danger of your being bitten because of their pain.
SLINGGUARD is made of the highest quality materials and is very easy to keep clean. Dog hair is repelled by SLINGGUARD and can be wiped off by hand. If SLINGGUARD becomes too dirty, just unzip down the middle and wash in a washing machine on a gentle cycle, then hang up to dry. Alternatively, you can hang it on a line and hose it down.
SLINGGUARD helps to resolve the challenges of transporting dogs. With its innovative designs, and high-quality construction SLINGGUARD protects your dog and your car, year after year.
