At TransK9, we never want our customers to find themselves in frightening situations on the road. But when accidents do happen, nothing matters more than knowing you and your dogs are safe.
Recently, one of our customers shared her experience after being involved in a collision, and how her TransK9 crate gave her peace of mind in the middle of it all.
Elizabeth first contacted us in May with some questions about which crate was the right choice for her, her dogs and her vehicle. Her Ford Kuga 2016 needed a box that would fit her two collies safely and securely, giving peace of mind and comfort for their next road trip adventure.
Just a month later, her C35 crate purchase proved to be more important than anyone could’ve imagined.
Whilst driving with Maisie and Toby in their new crate, Elizabeth’s car was struck from behind by a lorry.
Though a frightening experience for all involved, we’re relieved to report that thanks to Elizabeth’s new TransK9 crate, both Maisie and Toby survived the incident unscathed:
“I feel the crate had two advantages, firstly, I think if it hadn’t been for the weight of the crate in the back, I would have been spun or even rolled. Secondly, without the crate, the dogs would have been thrown around and maybe hurt, whereas with the crate, they were kept safe and not even frightened by the accident. They got into the crate with no problem for the next journey.”
None of us ever plans to be in any kind of accident, but Elizabeth’s story reminds us just how quickly things can happen out on the road and how being proactively committed to safety is truly important.
Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do – provide owners with peace of mind and keep pets as safe as possible.
We never want our customers to experience moments like this, but knowing our crates help protect much-loved dogs when it matters most is why we’re so committed to what we do.
