You might remember that a couple of months ago I featured a new product I had seen at an event called the K9Carfence, an in-car safety fence designed for small dogs.

Well recently the K9Carfence company offered me up a chance to take their product for a test drive.

At first I was a bit worried that I might have to give up the booster seat that I have been riding in since I was just a wee pup, but I was relieved to hear that my booster could easily fit inside the K9Carfence system.

The K9Carfence easily attaches to any front or back seat of a car (I personally prefer to ride in the back seat) to keep your dog protected and secure while riding in the car.

And while I prefer to put my booster seat inside the K9Carfence, you do have the option to simply let your dog move freely within the space. This would be great for dogs that don’t like to be confined while in the car, and still want to be able to look out of the window or easily change positions.

Should you need to take down the K9Carfence for any non-furry passengers, it easily unsnaps and can be pushed underneath a seat, leaving the seat protector in place and the seat belts still fully functional.

Or if you prefer, with a few more easy steps you can roll the entire K9Carfence into a neat little travel bag making it easy to transport into another vehicle or to stow away until you need it again.

Here’s a short video I shot while taking the K9Carfence for a test ride:

As you can see adjusting to the K9Carfence wasn’t even an issue for me, and although I didn’t test it out in any sudden stops (mom says she’s a very good driver and has a zero accident record – and I’m hoping she keeps it that way), it does seem like it would prevent me from flying around the car should we ever have an accident. And one can never be too safe when the lives of cute little Dachshunds are at stake!

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Road Tripping Adventures

It’s true, I go on lots and lots of adventures with my family, but did you know that when I travel with my family most of the time it is to perform with my Painting Pony friends. All that is about to change though, because this week I’m traveling without the ponies all the way to North Carolina to visit my Uncle Taylor (the same Uncle Taylor who filmed our new Painting Pony DVD).

Road Tripping Adventures with Ammo the Dachshund

This will be the longest road trip I’ve ever taken, and the best part is that I not only get to travel with my family, but I also get to travel with my bestest buddy Trooper! Best week ever!

Over the weekend I helped mom and dad pack for the big trip, so I thought it would be fun to share with everyone exactly what ended up in my personal suitcase.

I’m so excited to reach my destination, and I’ll be sure to post pictures of my road trip on Facebook and Instagram as I travel. But in case you miss any of the excitement, not to worry – I’ll give you a full recap of all my adventures when I return next week! Ammo the Dachshund
