A Mobile Den: ZUCA's Pet Carrier Boosts Safety for Summer Travel

MILPITAS, Calif., April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer travel season is almost here. Today ZUCA released a range of pet carrier designs just in time for all those family road trips. The innovative design of the ZUCA Pet Carrier doubles as a rolling carry-all and "car seat" for animals, enabling safe transport for your pet in the car or on the street.  

"Our customers have been asking for a ZUCA product to transport their pets and keep them safe," said Bruce Kinnee, President of ZUCA. "We kept the strong frame and the easy navigation with our double wheels, and we added a new fabric specially tailored for pet use. Now pets can be transported—whether it be to the vet, to the park or on a family vacation—safely and easily and without the strain of lugging awkward pet carry cases."

The ZUCA Pet Carrier is easily secured in your car with a standard seat belt for safety on the road. Research from Bark Buckle UP, leading researchers on pet travel safety, suggests that over 71 million American homes have pets and a whopping 82% of those pets travel on vacation with their owners. Bark Buckle UP advocates for restraining pets during travel to protect both the pet and its owners in the event of an accident. 

The ZUCA Pet Carrier can be used in the car, outdoors and even in the house. The carriers provide a den-like atmosphere for cats or small dogs (up to 15 pounds) and can easily be rolled from place to place. The ZUCA Pet Carrier has a unique, smooth-gliding quad wheel system that easily climbs curbs and stairs, so pets can go anywhere you do.

Developed for your pet's safety and comfort, the ZUCA Pet Carrier has an interior leash and a removable floor panel designed to hold disposable liners. The heavy-duty fabric insert is hand washable and has mesh panels for ventilation and visibility. Roomy side pockets can carry treats, leashes and more. And the super-sturdy, lightweight aluminum alloy frame even doubles as a mobile seat for pet owners.

Owners may build their own ZUCA Pet Carrier online at www.zuca.com by selecting different frame and insert colors, so there's one sure to fit any personality. SRP is $157.50 and it comes in a variety of colorful personalities.
