If you’re a Bark & Swagger follower, you know I’m a fan of the PUPSAVER. For me, it’s the best dog car seat out there. It’s the only one officially crash-tested by the same company that crash tests infant car seats for the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). With the holidays almost upon us, we’re already thinking gifts – for us, our pups, our friends and loved ones. If you live outside a major city or just plain get around in a car with your dog, you need a car seat. I know many of us don’t use car seats. I didn’t until I learned the statistics. They’re sobering. Stick around after the whys and wheretofores, because there’s a brand new luxe PUPSAVER to drool over and a special deal for Bark & Swagger followers!. Check this out:
The stats…
“An unrestrained 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert 500 pounds of pressure; an 80-pound dog at 30 mph will exert 2400 pounds of pressure,” said Jennifer Huebner-Davidson, AAA National, traffic safety programs manager. “Imagine the devastation that can cause to your pet and anyone in the vehicle in its path. Restraining your pet when driving can not only help protect your pet, but you and other passengers in your vehicle as well.”
It’s just not worth it.
It was a near miss that caused Ray Bennett, the inventor of the PUPSAVER and a 40-year automotive industry veteran, to find a better solution. He saw what happened when an abrupt stop threw his pal, Gizmo into the dash. Thank goodness, Gizmo was ok, albeit a bit banged up. We don’t need to be worrying about that sort of thing happening to our babies. Using the PUPSAVER gives me peace of mind. What’s makes it so great?

How it works…
The PUPSAVER attaches to the existing seatbelt system of your car. The lap portion of the belt attaches to the bottom and the long shoulder strap connects to the back of the PUPSAVER. The PUPSAVER, like an infant car seat, is rear-facing, and when you place your dog inside, its own collar or harness attaches to a short tether. Your pup is not attached to the automobile seat; only the PUPSAVER is. That makes a big difference and here’s why.
Because the PUPSAVER utilizes the long strap behind the seat, when it locks, it actually causes the car seat to pull over your dog like a catcher’s mitt, enveloping and, thereby, protecting the dog. And, because the PUPSAVER is secured to the car at its bottom and its back, it stays put; the dog, collar/harness and PUPSAVER all move together, if you get what I mean. They’ve really done something ingenious here.
Note that currently, the PUPSAVER is only for dogs up to 30 lbs. For heavier/larger dogs, the Sleepypod Clickit 3-Point Harness System is very highly rated as the best on the market.
There’s a new fave in town…
So, say goodbye to those less than effective, boxy car seats! PUPSAVER not only works like a dream, but it’s bona fide chic. NEW STYLE ALERTS! My fave (and the one I own) is the brown leopard print with the cherry red trim. Now, PUPSAVER has upgraded the fabric to make it even more plush than before! But, I have to admit, I have another fave, too. There’s a new PUPSAVER in town! Call me fickle, but I just might not be able to resist its charms (don’t worry, leopard, I still love you…). The cheetah PUPSAVER features long, lush faux fur with that gorgeous cheetah spotted print. And it still offers the high quality workmanship and wear resistant fabrics I love. Yum! Take a look.
