Gus

“ I had just driven through an intersection and was going slowly because there were cars in front of me and only one block to the next intersection. The car behind me rear ended me hard, shoving my car half a block. I was shook up and sore for two days. My puppy was traumatized but the harness saved him from ying out of the back seat. “

Lulu

“ Stopped in traffic on freeway. Someone tried to go into next lane to bypass the stopped traffic and was slammed sideways into us by another car...This was on drivers side where dog was in [Sleepypod] in back seat. Worked great and Lulu was fine. “

Charlie

“ I was stopped at a dedicated right turn light, which was red as there were pedestrians crossing the street. The 2 lanes to my left were through lanes and their light turned green. The [car] behind me accelerated into me believing that we had a green light too and that I had moved, which I hadn't. Car has...damage; I'm having back/neck/ankle medical issues; but my Service Dog is uninjured!...Sooo thankful that he's ok, thank you!!! “

Luna

“ We saddled up and hopped into our [car] heading out for a quick drive down the road to the post office and walk in the the park...As we left our driveway another vehicle driving [too] fast, did not slow down or step on the brake at all struck the front passenger side...It was extremely frightening as the vehicle hitting us continued out of control crashing through our neighbors fence taking out a tree, then ditching down into their yard. All of us were ok and thankfully walked away. “

“ [A]ll animals alive, both cars towed. “

Trina

“ I was driving though a green light intersection when a car on my right side, in the right turn only lane sped through a red light. The car crashed into my car spinning my car to face the opposite direction. I had to kick my door open to get out. My dog was in her sleepypod. The car was totaled. No injuries. “

Ripley

“ Deer ran out in front of my car from the woods on a backcountry road in rural North Carolina. The first deer cleared the car but the second smashed the front bumper on the passenger side. I was going about 45/50 mph with my standard size Australian shepherd strapped into the back seat of my car. No one was hurt and thank goodness my Aussie, Ripley was strapped into his harness in the back! My Aussie has a lot of car anxiety which his Sleepypod harness really helps with we cannot thank you all enough for having invented this restraint method. “

Myla Rae

“ I was driving on wet roads…when I approached a car stopped ahead of me. I breaked with what should have been enough time to stop, however my wheels locked up and my car just skidded until we hit the stopped car. My car is totaled, however the car I hit is fixable…When I knew we were going to crash I just looked at her and watched how hard she hit into her harness and cannot believe she is fine. We left my car… and rushed her to the vet where she was checked over thoroughly and cleared physically and neurologically… it has saved my girl’s life. She would have gone through the windscreen without it with how hard she hit. “

Houdini

“ We hit going 55 mph, and he had no signs of injury. He doesn’t seem sore at all, he was even just as playful as any other Jack Russell the next day! I don’t know what I’d do without him, having a service dog improved my life significantly and allowed me to be more independent…Your product truly saved his life and protected him from injury. “

Maple

“ As I’m driving along, going 45 mph, a car suddenly turns in front of me. I didn’t even have time to apply pressure on the breaks before we collided. My car spun wildly, and I ended up crossing three lanes, landing on the opposite side of the median… Her doggy bed that she lays on was tossed from the seat. The leashes I keep in the back are strewn about the car. My dog is sitting on the seat, wide-eyed and confused, perfectly unharmed. “

Bella

“ We were t-boned by a driver speeding through a red light at about 40 mph. After the collision, my first concern was Bella. I was emotionally relieved to realize she was fully secured and only experienced normal confusion. I on the other hand, experienced a concussion with two weeks worth of whiplash. Both cars were totaled with my car repair estimate at $15,000. “

Dexter

Lola

“ I was going 108 km when I spotted a moose coming out of the ditch I honked slammed on the brakes and swerved into the incoming lane to avoid the moose but hit its hind quarter on the passenger side of the vehicle then we stopped in the ditch. No one was hurt and the car may be totaled depending on if the frame is bent. The windshield is smashed and the passenger side of the vehicle is dented and there is damage to the rear of the vehicle. “

Seraphina

“ I had stopped at a stop light but the guy behind me did not. He did a lot of damage to the rear passenger side, but the car is not considered totaled. I had middle back and neck injuries and Seraphina had a bit of bruising on her chest where her safety harness was. He hit us so hard that I think her injuries would have been greater. “

Hanna & Becca

“ While traveling south on I-95 at 65mph, a deer leapt over the center median and landed directly in front of the vehicle. The vehicle collided with the deer causing the airbags to inflate. The damage of the collision was significant enough for the car to be deemed a total loss by the insurance company. “

Guiness

“ We were rear ended by a tow truck. “

Chewy

“ My husband’s vehicle was struck, basically head on, by a driver who was illegally passing. The impact was primarily to the driver’s side front end… The vehicle that struck my husband’s car was traveling close to 60 mph. The vehicle sustained approximately $13,000 worth of damage, and my husband suffered a neck injury that has required ongoing care. I noticed our dog, Chewy, was a bit sore acting for a couple days, but no serious injuries. “

Angelo

“ The next thing we know someone hits us from behind. We pull over to the side after feeling dazed, and then the car speeds off. The police weren’t able to catch them…The car was not totaled, but our tailgate fell off because the car hit our bumper and pushed it up, forcing the tailgate to become unhinged. No one was hurt. “

Arya

“ My vehicle was stopped at a yield sign to oncoming traffic. The car behind me did not see that I was stopped, nor that there was a yield sign and rear ended me going about 10 mph. No one was hurt and there was minimal damage to both vehicles. “

Ruby

“ Today I was in a car accident going pretty fast on I-85. Thank GOD she was in this life saver, and I didn’t let her ride on my lap. What are the odds of getting into an accident the day after this shipment arrives? So thankful “

Taisho

“ My mother was at a complete stop on a highway in bumper-to- bumper traffic, when she was rear ended. My 83-year-old mom is still seeing a doctor for numbness down the right side of her body. Her car was totaled. Taisho was in the back seat, fastened to the passenger side back seat belt. The harness kept him from falling and hitting the seat in front of him, and also kept him from running into the street when mom opened the door after being hit. “

Rocco

“ Driving through an intersection in the right lane and the car in the left lane, but behind me, was trying to merge…the front right of that car hit the left back of my car and damaged the passenger door, side panel, tire area, and bumper. Luckily Rocco was strapped in place! “

Kohdie

“ We were on a major highway going 55-60 mph and hit a big deer. The car was totaled. The airbags deployed. My husband had minor injuries (e.g. bruises) and we both had some hearing loss. Our dog was in the back seat and was not injured at all. “

Princess Grace

“ I was traveling on Florida’s Turnpike, going approximate 65 mph in heavy rain. I hit a dip in the road and hydroplaned. I was unable to recover and hit the guardrail head on. Thankfully no other vehicles were involved. The truck was a total loss. No one was injured, miraculously. HRH Princess Grace wearing her Sleepypod Clickit Utility harness that we purchased in 2013. She was strapped in in the backseat on the driver’s side of the vehicle. “

Mavis

“ There was bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 105 freeway, and I was driving about 25 mph in what was about to become a merging lane. As a car starts merging over to get in front of me, I slow down to almost a complete stop and the car behind me didn’t, and hit me going at about 20 mph. This hit my car hard enough to make it skid forward. Luckily, there were no real injuries (I was sore for a while though). “

Apple

“ Car was totaled. I could not avoid hitting large construction ladder in lane. “

Figgy

“ I was slowing down to turn right onto my street when a driver turned left towards me and was heading at me straight head. I swerved to get as far to the right as I could, but he still hit my front left and slid down the side. Airbags deployed. $17K in repairs. My son and I were injured slightly from air bags and jolt, but Figgy was fine in her Sleepypod! “

Blessing

“ I was driving down the frontage road that runs parallel to Interstate 10 at about 45 mph when a truck driver decided to do a U turn without looking. He hit my car sending me over the median into oncoming traffic on the 10 freeway. My car was totaled. I was sore for a while, Blessing (my service dog) had a cut on her face and was terrified, but otherwise okay now. “

Jax

“ We were t-boned and sent into a 180 degree spin towards oncoming traffic. Read passenger door where Jax was sitting took impact. My puppy Jax was tethered to his seatbelt while wearing his Sleepypod harness. I am receiving ongoing medical treatment but thankfully Jax appears to be ok “

Ed

“ Was crossing an intersection in the rain and other car didn’t have their lights on and we collide. My coonhound was in the backseat wearing his seatbelt, luckily. Without it we both would of been way worse injured… he was a little achy, I walked away with bruises. “

OG

“ I was waiting to make a legal left turn when the car approaching me from behind swerved around me at the last moment… I could hear tires screeching as they applied their breaks but they hit me hard enough to knock my sunglasses off my face and send items flying inside my passenger cabin… I had months of treatment for back and neck pain but my dog was absolutely fine. I can’t imagine what injuries she would have sustained without the Clickit Sport harness. “

Bao

“ I was driving on the interstate and suddenly many of the lanes of cars were all slamming on their brakes. I was unable to stop before hitting the car in front of me. My arm was cut open by the airbag and I had a large bruise on my leg. Bao was in her carrier. The carrier slid forward a little but did not become a projectile. “

Bella

“ The driver behind me barreling into the rear of my SUV, she hit us with such force that she plowed my 2.4-ton vehicle into the car in front of me. “

Hank

“ A semi/freightliner with cattle trailer did not yield the right of way and pulled into the roadway… My truck struck into the cattle trailer and was totaled… Thankfully due to being buckled into his Sleepypod harness he was just shook up and not injured “

Sampson

“ I was driving my car when a car turned directly in front of me. The front of my vehicle hit the side of the other car. My truck had $10,000 worth of damage. The other car was totaled… Thanks to the Sleepypod bed car seat my 7 lb dog was fine. I suffered sever whiplash. “

Sandie

“ I collided with the rear of a SUV. No one was hurt and my car was totaled “

Chibi

“ The CHP and fire personnel arrived and said I was lucky I was not seriously injured. When they saw my dog still strapped in his seat with his ClickIt Sport harness on, I saw their faces change. They said this could have been way worse and he could have been ejected through the windshield. The look on their faces after seeing my dog safe and unharmed let me know how lucky we were. I will never let him ride along in a car without his harness on. “
