Taking care of pets is said to have health benefits. They provide you with companionship, someone to talk at (although not with), and someone to walk or exercise with. Anybody who has ever had a pet can tell you how great it feels to have it on your lap, stroking and caressing it. But of course, not while driving.
For your and your pet’s safety, it is best to keep it in the back of your automobile with a secure barrier separating you from each other. Accidents have happened when excited dogs leapt over to their caregivers while they were at the wheel. And there certainly are plenty of things that can excite animals along the road.
The Midwest Model 13 Wire Mesh Car Barrier is an excellent restraint for all kinds of pets, including the big powerful breeds of dogs. The wire mesh is sturdy enough to withstand pressure from your pet. As it is fully adjustable it will suit most makes and models of SUVs, SUTs, vans, wagons, and other cross-over vehicles, from Cadillac Escalades to Chevrolet Suburbans, or from Dodge Journeys to Saturn Outlooks. It can be expanded from a width of 31 to 70 inches, while its height can vary from 31 to 50 inches.
Rubber padding on the top rail protects the upholstery of the roof. To cut blinding glare on your rear view mirror should the sun or other bright light hit the wire mesh, it is applied with an electro-coated finish.
Installation is easy although you may have to bend low if you use a station wagon such as a Subaru Outback or BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon. Just be sure to tighten the nuts and bolts to assure a rattle-free ride.
