MY DOG WANTS TO LOOK OUT
Everyone believes that, but it is a misconception. We ask you to slip into the role of your dog:
Sit in the back seat and let a driver drive. Then turn your head 90 degrees and look straight out the side window: from 30 km/h you can no longer see anything. Everything rushes past you. You get stressed because your brain can't process the information rushing by. You'll also feel nauseous, which creates even more stress.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY YOUR DOG IS
Your dog doesn't recognize anything either, he also gets stressed. And if your dog is stressed, so are all the occupants.
So when your dog can find peace, everything is so much more relaxed. Nature helps here: dogs sleep between 14 and 20 hours a day. They need this as a fast metabolism in order to be able to live a healthy life. She would also like to sleep in the car. But they can't because they're stressed.
BUT MY DOG ALWAYS STANDS UP?!?
It can be. But the reason isn't that he wants to "look out" - that's what's causing him stress. The reason is that it does not have a secure hold. He simply has “nowhere to hold on.” This is why an inclined lying position is so important. We have explained this point clearly under the point “DOXAFER® inclined position”.
The DOXAFER® actively calms your dog, who finally has the chance to rest in the car. The result is a relaxed ride. Both for your dog and for all occupants.
