CANINE AUTO RESTRAINT

Protect yourself, your family, and other passengers in your vehicle. In an accident, a dog can be thrown with hundreds or even thousands of pounds of force into other occupants of the vehicle, easily causing life threatening injuries. A good restraint system can help minimize this danger.
 
Make it easier for rescue workers and EMTs to help in the event of an accident. A dog that has been in an accident is likely to be shocked, confused, injured, and protective. It does not understand what has happened and may attack people or rescue workers indiscriminately and without additional  provocation. Your dog may think that people who come to help you actually caused  the accident and are now coming to attack again!  Police officers have told us that they have shot dogs when in this situation.
 
Prevent runaways and daring escapes! Even well behaved dogs can have their moments of "distraction". Far from home or on vacation is the worst place to lose your dog. Dogs can also get injured or killed jumping from even a slow moving vehicle.

P.S. During a 30 MPH collision your dog can exert a force of up to 20 times their bodyweight! (1200 lbs. for a 60 lb. dog!)
 
 
 
 

TIRE
PRESSURE
MINDERS
 

Note at a glance if your tires have lost air.
 
Driving with low pressures reduces tire life, wastes fuel, and can even lead to an accident. Here’s the easiest way to keep tabs on your tire pressures. After verifying your pressures are correct, replace your old valve stem caps with Tire Minders. You’ll see a green indicator on the cap. If pressure drops 4-7 psi, a yellow flag pops out, alerting you to the loss of air. If pressure drops 8 PSI or more, a red flag pops out, alerting you to take action. Simple and ingenious! Sold in sets of 4.
 
P.S. Please don't forget to check your spare monthly
