[Video] Dramatic Results of Crash Tests on Pet Crates, Carriers in Study Funded by Subaru of America
Subaru of America and the Center for Pet Safety recently conducted crash tests to help pet owners make wise decisions
Subaru of America and the Center for Pet Safety offer practical safety tips for pet parents traveling with their four-legged friends from the results of the 2015 Crate and Carrier Crashworthiness Studies - a collaborative initiative to examine the effectiveness and safety of pet crates and carriers in the event of a crash.
“We at Subaru recognize the importance of keeping the entire family safe on the road, including our beloved pets,” said Michael McHale, Subaru's director of corporate communications.
In the event of a crash, it is important for pet crates and carriers to contain the dog and prevent the animal from becoming a projectile. It is also important for the containment device to remain fully secured at the connection points. If a pet is unrestrained, or the structural integrity should fail, the dog can potentially strike and injure a human passenger.
