When a VarioCage dog cage \/ transport cage has been involved in a collision, it should be taken out of use and no longer used.<\/h4>\n

The reason for this is that the dog cage, VarioCage, after such an event can no longer be assumed to correspond to that described in the above text. The cage is constructed with zones of energy absorbing material and should be destroyed just like cars when they have used their energy absorbing impact zones.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Why is the door on the Variocage single cage left hanging?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]This is because if you stop at a parking pocket to rest your dog, the cage door should always go towards the road so the dog chooses to jump out to the road edge instead of out of the way.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What is the difference in safety between a cage and a harness?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The dog is more secure in a cage as it has a limited protected space. In a strap, the dog is thrown around in the back seat and can hit the interior. In a frontal crash, it can reach the back of the front seats. In the event of a tipping, the dog can hit the roof and headrest, and if it is large can even be partially thrown out of the car with the rear body. It can also damage other passengers. The length of the leash also gives the dog a difference in speed relative to the car before it is fully stretched and it stops. That distance becomes shorter in a cage and the speed difference decreases, which in turn reduces the risk of injury to the dog. The cage, which is made of relatively thin material, also has the ability to absorb some of the energy in the collision by deforming it during the collision.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Which VarioCage is best for my dog \u200b\u200bin order for it to cope with a possible collision as well as possible?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]If a car stands still and gets hit, the car is pushed away in one direction or another. The dog that is in the cage does not change movement until one of the cage’s walls reaches the dog. The longer the distance between the dog and the cage wall (s), the greater the difference in speed and force between dog and cage in a crash. It can be compared to a seat belt that most people know should sit as tight as possible to reduce power. That is, the larger the cage, the greater the distance for the dog. Therefore, it may be unnecessary to have an oversized cage for your dog.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What is the difference between a VarioCage and other dog cages in the market?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Our cage is constructed with telescopic tubes, two parts of the roof and floor, which allows the depth of the cage to be adjusted. In this “adjustability function” is also the collision safety. In a collision from behind, floors, ceilings and telescopic tubes are brought together and reduce the risk of those in the back seat receiving cage material in the back. It also reduces the risk of the dog getting stabs and cuts of the material in the cage.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Which VarioCage should my dog breed have?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]We often get asked what cage a certain breed of dog needs. Find one here guide<\/a> which explains what height of VarioCage is needed for your dog’s size. NOTE! Size differences within the breed occur – therefore this list is written with reservation and only as a suggestion. Size of dog also depends on what depth you can have the cage extended to. All cages are adjustable in depth.<\/p>\n
