A new crash tested dog crate made by Travall has launched this month, offering dog owners certified standard to ensure a pet is safe in the car. It’s priced £289.99 compared to similar crates by other brands costing £500-plus.

Travall’s new dog crate is TÜV SÜD certified - the same safety authority trusted for child car seats in Europe - offering genuine crash-tested protection rather than simple containment in the event of sudden stops or collisions.

The crate is tested at 50 km/h with forces up to 25x the dog's bodyweight (crash testing video available) and only passes if the dog remains inside the crate, the door does not open and the structure does not fail.  Testing even includes the worst-case scenario that the rear seats have been folded down.

Travall’s dog crate has excellent airflow and no distracting rattles or noise, to ensure dogs are calm and comfortable while travelling.  It’s chew proof, durable, portable and comes with a two-year guarantee.  To find out more about Travall’s crash tested dog crate visit www.travall.co.uk.  Prices start at £289.99.

Founder of Training Dog Lorenzo Barichella said: “As a dog behaviour specialist, I often see dogs that become overexcited, anxious or restless in the car because they have never been taught that travelling can be calm and predictable. Looking out of the windows, pacing around the vehicle or jumping between seats may seem harmless, but these behaviours can increase arousal and create unnecessary stress for both the dog and the driver.  Travelling safely isn’t just about preventing injuries. It’s about creating an environment where dogs can feel calm, secure and confident, allowing them to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

“Many inexpensive restraints and seat belt attachments give owners a false sense of security.  When travelling with children, we don’t rely on a seat belt alone. We use a dedicated, safety-tested child seat designed to protect them.  I believe our dogs deserve the same consideration. A properly secured crate isn’t just a way to restrain a dog, it’s a safe space that protects their physical and emotional wellbeing and helps them travel calmly and confidently."
