Are Safety Harnesses Right For Your Dog?

Does your pooch just love to go for rides with you in the car? Having them as a travel companion can make any trip more enjoyable! Taking your dog for a ride is not only fun, but a great way to get them out for socialization and exercise. There are also trips to the vet, groomer or doggie day care that require a ride in the car. Most of the time we open the door, they pop in and you go, but should you consider a dog seat belt?
Letting your dog have free rein of the car can actually be dangerous to both you and your pet. In a recent AAA survey, 31% of drivers admitted to being distracted by their pet. Whether they are climbing in your lap, or positioning themselves to get comfortable, who's not going to get distracted?
Some states are moving to enforce ticketing for having your dog on your lap. But, what options do we really have for safely restraining your dog in your vehicle?
 With a number of dog seat belts or dog safety harnesses on the market today, our choice is clear. Cabo Dog Boutique carries but one brand and that is the Clickit Utility Three Point Dog Harness. When it comes to overall performance and customer satisfaction, there really is no comparing this product to others on the market. This is why Cabo Dog Boutique chooses to carry the Clickit exclusively in dog travel accessories section. The safety of you and your family matters to all of us at Cabo Dog Boutique!

The Clickit utility harness is the first dog safety harness to incorporate three points of attachment to absorb the force sustained during a front end collision. By having a three point system the harness is better able to dissipate the energy during a crash and keep your dog safely in their seat as it was designed to do.

Unlike traditional one point dog safety harnesses, the Clickit dog seat belt will also reduce damaging forces and keep the upper and lower part of your dogs body controlled and restrained. The comfortable wide webbing structure of the dog safety vest promotes even distribution across the chest to lessen the chance of injury. Along with tethers and shoulder belts, it comes together to create an overall safety harness like no other.

With a D Ring attachment on the back of the vest, you can even use it as a walking vest! Pop your pooch from your car, snap on your handy leash and your ready to go.
Cabo Dog Boutique also has some fantastic Dog travel accessories to enhance any trip your taking with your dog. The Jet Setter doggie travel bag is a fantastic bag to put your dogs necessities all in one easy and convenient place! You can also find travel bowls for dogs and dog travel blankets that can complete your trip in style and comfort!

Why take chances. In 2013 The  Clickit harness was awarded the Center For Pet Safety Crash-worthiness Top Performer and Dog Fancy Magazine's Editors Choice Award. Cabo Dog Boutique would like to wish you all safe travels! Woof!

Pavement Precautions for your Dog!

Do you feel the warmer temperatures calling us outside, Cabo Dog Boutique sure does! Spring is upon us and (hopefully) we'll all be able to spend more and more time outside enjoying it.

We all enjoy Spring and Summer and because many of us exercise outdoors - it's much more comfortable to run outside when it's warm and the sun is out rather than in the blistering cold. For many runners and walkers - most all bring their running companion's. 

Many runners and pet owners don't think alot about running outside with their pet.  Running on pavement is good but not always good for your dog. Be sure not to overlook some simple things. Before running outside, remember the "3 P's of Outside Running with your Pet".

Pavement.

Pavement can get blistering hot! We don't pick up on it as often because we're walking in comfortable rubber-soled shoes, but pets don't have the same luxury. Always check the pavement's temperature by frequently touching to see if its warm, if so, reconsider running together that day or move to a grassy location for your outdoor adventures.

Paws.
Pets can get cuts, blisters and other nicks on their paws from running outside on the pavement. There are many different types of dog shoes available for pets who run with their owners frequently, if this is you two consider checking them out!

Parched

Water, water, water! Pet's get thirsty too, so make sure you bring a small bottle of water and pet travel bowl to give your pet that quick swig that will ensure they stay hydrated, healthy and that they'll enjoy their time with you. Make sure to take a look at our Collapse a Bowl Pet Bowl. Pet Travel Bowls are the thing to have for walkers and people that take their dogs with them on road trips and long walks or hikes.
