4Pets Pro 1 Wins Crash Test, Ensuring Pet Safety for 339 Francs
In a recent speed test, the Pro 1 model from 4Pets for the trunk emerged as the price-performance winner, priced at 339 francs. It passed the test, ensuring the safety of both pets and vehicle occupants.
The Pro 1 model impressed with its four durable boxes that survived the speed test, protecting the cash register and rear seat. These boxes are known for their user-friendly features and robust construction. For optimal security, it's crucial to use a dog crate that fits properly, allowing the dog to lie, turn around, and sit up comfortably, but not so large that the dog could be thrown across the crate in a speed test. Dog owners should familiarize their pets with the crate before travel and plan regular breaks for movement, relief, and hydration.
Several other models failed the speed test, posing a serious injury risk. Boxes from Roony, Cadoca, Freezack, and Trixie did not provide adequate protection in a frontal impact at 50 kilometers per hour. Some boxes even fell apart completely. Dog harnesses were found insufficient in securing dogs in case of an accident. Large dogs thrown from a vehicle can develop forces in the tonnage range, posing a deadly danger to both the dog and passengers. In response, Decathlon, Galaxus, and Qualipet removed the unsafe boxes from Roony, Cadoca, and Freezack from their shops due to safety defects. Alternatives that passed the speed test include the Premiumkennel model from Schmidt Fahrzeugbau, secured on the back seat using seat belts, and self-assembly boxes from Schmidt and the Crispin model from Tavo.
The Pro 1 model from 4Pets is a safe and affordable option for pet owners. It's essential to prioritize safety when transporting pets by choosing tested and approved products, and always ensuring the well-being of the animal during travel.
