As part of my search for unique and great canine products with the advent of Marley's arrival (can you believe she's already 32lbs and climbing? WHEW!), we started looking at items to keep her contained in the backseat with kiddo on trips.
We have a harness that clips onto the seat belt, but the dog is part Houdini and has figured ways to get out of the harness! if she could figure out a way to crawl up into kiddo's carseat, she'd be extremely happy! So we started looking at vehicle pet barriers for cars. But as I have a SUV, I needed something larger, but I did not want something hard that would cause a problem in case of an accident.
Enter Razonia at RM PR! She let me know about an unique product called the ZooKeeper, which is easy to install AND remove, is NOT permanent and does what it says it will do! I was more than happy to give it a go!
It arrived in a big box and we got a little worried, but hubby pulled it out and saw that it had been well packaged, and was a reasonable size, so he got to work on installing it in my truck. It only took him about 20 minutes, with reading ALL the instructions,and having to move stuff that was already attached to the seat backs.. (The second time, only took about 5 minutes, as he knew what to do!).
How it works...
- Flexible connection cords fasten around headrest posts. So you can move your seats freely: easily tilt forward, recline backward, and slide back and forth
- Zero drills. Zero holes. Zero alterations to your car.
- Custom fit to your vehicle with horizontal and vertical adjustments.
- Black finish compliments any interior.
- Expandable to 61" wide- Prevents pets from freely jumping into the front seat through the space between the front seats.
- 100% satisfaction, no hassle, money back guarantee!
- Engineered in USA. Patent Pending.
Now nosey puss CAN put her snout in between the slats, but she can't get her whole head through, so it stops her completely. Unfortunately I couldn't get a quick pix of that, but it works!As you can see from the opposite view, the seat space is totally blocked and she knows she has to go back to the seat (we left her loose to see what she would do). That would be her dejected look above, and her I'm not looking at you look below. Funny dog....
I am really amazed at how well this product works for being so light weight and easy to install! I really love that we can install it in ANY of the cars we have (sportscar, coupe, minivan, suv) in the family, we no problem. Which means if we buy a new car/truck, it will work in it too. Talk about a budget saver! The ZooKeeper may seem pricey (over $70), but it's ease of use and versatility make it WELL worth it to keep your 75lb dog from jumping in your lap when you're driving and causing an accident!
We will definitely use it when we have to go on any trips with Marley over 20 minutes, and I will be highly recommending it to everyone!
