Editorial Policy
Purpose and Standards Our goal is to deliver accurate, vehicle‑specific guidance that improves safety, cleanliness, and comfort for canine travel. Content is written and reviewed by subject‑matter contributors and checked for clarity and usefulness.
Independence and Objectivity
- We do not sell rankings or accept pay‑to‑play placements.
- Products are selected based on fitment data, safety relevance, durability, and user value.
- Affiliate links, where used, appear only after selections are made and do not influence verdicts.
Evidence and Fact‑Checking
- Vehicle dimensions and anchor locations are measured or verified against reliable sources.
- Product specs are confirmed with manufacturer documentation and direct measurement.
- Safety claims are cited to recognized standards or third‑party test data when available. If evidence is limited, we label guidance as preliminary and explain the uncertainty.
Corrections and Updates We correct factual errors promptly and document significant changes in an article’s changelog. If you spot an issue, email [email protected] with the page URL and details.
Sources and Citations We link to primary sources (manufacturers, standards bodies, recalls) and clearly mark when a claim is based on our in‑house measurements or testing.
Gifts, Loans, and Samples Loaned or gifted items are disclosed on the page. Acceptance does not guarantee coverage or a positive review; all items follow the same test protocol.
User Contributions and Photos When users share measurements or install photos, we verify where possible and label user‑supplied data. We remove identifying information upon request.
Monetization and Disclosures We may earn commissions from affiliate links to retailers. This supports our independent testing and does not change the price you pay. See our Privacy Policy for cookie/attribution details.
Limitations We do not provide veterinary, legal, or vehicle manufacturer advice. Follow your owner’s manual and product instructions, and check local regulations.
