The "BreezeGuard" is effectively a protective cage that mounts into a car door allowing dog passengers to enjoy the breeze in safety.
Sue Stipanovich, who started the business of making BreezeGuards, says the inspiration came when she witnessed a truck in front of her with a dog perched out the window. She was so shocked by this that she couldn't stop thiking about it all day long, but managed to turn her anxiety into productivity by inventing the BreezeGuard.
She writes that she tested a prototype of the BreezeGuard with her own dog Uli, who has always been so frightened to ride in a car. But with the BreezeGuard, she's now a happy little puppy.
For $250.00 you can get one for your car, truck, or SUV. The online order form seems to accept orders for any make and model.

just another thing to be cut by the fire departement when you smash your car into a truck.
I'm sure animal lovers will love them. It allows people to relax and not have to worry about their pets well being. I like it.
And if you're really lucky, you'll get pulled over for having a non-legal car modification.
dogs wont lose their heads with this invention(on road side signs)!
I was just thinking the other day.
If there was only a way to keep cats out of my car (males) so they dont spray and smell it up maby something like this might help.
Cool idea, not sure if I would buy one, though.
That's gotta go wonders for your visibility, too!
to the idiot that wants to keep cats of their car - try rolling up the window!
This is truly a great idea. I'm sure you would think so to. After seeing a dog jump out of a car window on a highway. Which happens rather often. And to say the least many don't live after such a jump. So this could save your dog or a loved ones dog from a very bad fate.
I am appaled that the photo of the product shows the dog in the front seat without a seat-belt. Where I live, you pet must be in the back seat and must have a canine seatbelt on. They should at least show it in the back window. And with a canine seat-belt, you can set it so they can just get their nose out the window and you won't need to buy a $250 car cage, which... 1) won't keep your pet safe in an accident, 2) can crumple into the car in an accident, 3) snap off in an accident and cause injury to bystanders, etc.
Hmm, many naysayer's out there. If you haven't seen or used this product before, way to be ignorant and post comments without research. This product has been cleared by Seattle Police Department as having NO, ZERO, NADA legal violations. Also, this product would be easier and safer to get through in the event of an accident by the fire department than breaking a window or using the Jaws of Life. It does not extend beyong your side view mirrors. Try LEARNING, before COMMENTING. Reckless... ignorant... try giving CONSTRUCTIVE criticism for a change.
Well said Jordon, I was thinking the same thing. Funny enough, many of these comments sound a lot like the same person ;)
I agree, research something before you go mouthing off or being negative about something. Sure you may not like the idea or wonder about the safety or practicality of such a product, but then don't buy it. Or, research it more first.
A lot of negative, critical people out there that's for sure.
I think this looks like a great product for dogs who like to hang their head out the window! A little expensive though, but it may just be worth it.
Thanks for posting this!
could we use it for our childrens?
