Great protection for my vehicle when carting around the dogs! By N. Parker
My husband and I are constantly taking our greyhounds various places and up until now only used an old comforter to try and protect the back of the vehicle. I saw this cargo liner and thought it would be so much better. First – it’s designed to fit – with straps and Velcro so it doesn’t slip around. Second, it’s waterproof so if there is an accident or they have wet paws I don’t have to worry about damage to my vehicle. Third – it’s much more attractive than my ugly old comforter that I had been using! It fits well in my Subaru and Land Rover – but I opted to set it up in the Subaru as we use that the most. Installation was easy and it looks great. The material is VERY durable – almost like a thick waterproof canvas. The quilting is nice so that my dogs are comfortable during the ride. It’s non-slip so they don’t lose their footing when they stand up. I also love that it’s machine washable so when it gets dirty I just have to take it out and throw it in the washing machine. I will probably hang it dry as I think that is better than putting it in the dryer. I am extremely happy with this cargo liner and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to protect their vehicle or carry dogs around. I hope you found this review helpful and feel free to ask any questions below by clicking on comment and I will try to answer as quickly as possible. I received this product at a discount to try and was asked (but not required) to give an honest, unbiased, and fair review. I rely on reviews just as much as you do and detest fake five star reviews. This review is based on my actual use of the product and I will always point out any negative things I can because I believe in transparency.
Never ever leave your pet alone in a car
A quick pit stop may feel like no time at all to you, but it’s too long to leave your pet in a car by himself. One hazard is heat: When it’s 72 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 116 degrees within an hour. On an 85-degree day, even with the windows slightly open, the temperature inside your car can reach 102 degrees in just 10 minutes. If you’re held up for 30 minutes, you may return to a car that’s 120 degrees inside and a pet who is suffering irreversible organ damage or death.
A year-round hazard is the unspoken invitation you issue to pet (and car) thieves any time you leave your pet alone in a car.
Cool outside doesn’t mean cool in the car
It doesn’t have to be that warm outside for a car to become dangerously hot inside. Here are some facts:
When it’s 72 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit within an hour.
When it’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 99 degrees Fahrenheit within 10 minutes.
Rolling down the windows has been shown to have little effect on the temperature inside a car.
How to help a pet left in a hot car
Take down the car’s make, model and license-plate number.
If there are businesses nearby, notify their managers or security guards and ask them to make an announcement to find the car’s owner. Many people are unaware of the danger of leaving pets in hot cars and will quickly return to their vehicle once they are alerted to the situation.
If the owner can’t be found, call the non-emergency number of the local police or animal control and wait by the car for them to arrive. In several states good Samaritans can legally remove animals from cars under certain circumstances, so be sure to know the laws in your area and follow any steps required.
