MY DOG WANTS TO LOOK OUTSIDE
Everyone believes this, but it's a misconception. That's why we ask you to put yourself in your dog's shoes for a moment:
Sit in the back seat and let a driver drive. Then turn your head 90 degrees and look straight out the side window: At just 30 km/h, you can no longer see anything. Everything rushes past you. You get stressed because your brain cannot process the information rushing past. In addition, you get nauseous, which causes even more stress.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOUR DOG FEELS
Your dog doesn't recognize anything either, and they also get stressed. And if your dog is stressed, so are all the occupants.
So if your dog can relax, everything is much more relaxed. Nature helps here: Because dogs sleep between 14 and 20 hours a day. They need this as fast metabolizers to live a healthy life. They would prefer to sleep in the car too. But they can't because they are stressed.
BUT MY DOG ALWAYS STANDS UP, DOESN'T HE?!?
That's possible. But the reason isn't that he "wants to look out" – that's what causes him stress, after all. The reason is that he has no secure footing. He simply "has nowhere to hold on." That's why an inclined lying position is so important. We have explained this point comprehensibly under the section "DOXAFER® Inclined Position."
The DOXAFER® actively calms your dog, who finally has the chance to rest in the car. The result is a relaxed journey. For your dog, as well as for all occupants.
