From Kerstin, founder of PET & Co. — for Louis

6 reasons why I would never go without a proper car seat again.

When I picked up Louis at 8 weeks old, I was really nervous about the first car ride. What happened next changed how I've viewed dog car seats ever since.

When I picked up Louis from the breeder at 8 weeks old, there was one thing I was really nervous about: the first car ride home. New people, new smells, a strange car — and suddenly his mom and his siblings were no longer there.

I had expected everything. That he would cry. That he would get restless. But then this tiny, eight-week-old puppy simply lay down, curled up — and became calm.

It was only later that I realized why: on this trip, Louis didn't need a crate in the trunk or a loose blanket on the back seat. He needed his own familiar place with us.

"That is exactly when I started to see a dog car seat in a completely different way. Not as something that transports my dog from A to B — but as his own little space in the car."

Today, Louis is long past his puppy days. But his spot in the car is still an essential part of his routine — and we now hear the same from our customers: “Finally, my dog is relaxed in the car.”

Since that first trip, there are a few things I would never want to be without in a dog car seat again. You can find six of them right here ↓

Six things I would never go without again

What a proper car seat for your dog needs to offer — in six points.

01 Safety

A loose dog in the car is a risk — for everyone in the vehicle.

In the event of a collision, an unsecured dog is subjected to enormous forces that far exceed its own body weight. Carlo has an integrated seat belt adapter that keeps your dog in place — instead of letting it fly freely through the car.

What you save with Carlo instead of buying new regularly.

We tested it ourselves: an inexpensive "orthopedic" bed often lasts only a few months with intensive use. If replaced every 6 months, it costs CHF 447 over 5 years. Carlo costs a one-time fee of CHF 239.

¹ Comparison price: Standard dog car seat, market example, as of August 2026. Replacement cycle of every 6 months assumed; no PET & Co. test experience with this specific product.

→ The Difference

Why "affordable" rarely means orthopedic when it comes to car seats.

Standard car seats generally do not have genuine orthopedic filling material — only soft padding. This is sufficient for short trips, but does not provide targeted joint relief like the memory foam core of Carlo. You can find the complete overview below.

"Elevates both the pet's wellbeing and the home's aesthetic."

03 Two Lives

Car seat in the car. Dog bed at home.

Carlo can be opened at the front and used as a normal dog bed — practical for puppies that don't need a crate yet, and for anyone who doesn't want to buy two separate products.

04 Care

Protect the car instead of ruining it.

Instead of pet hair and scratches on the seats, Carlo handles the contact with the vehicle. Machine washable at 30°C — a seat that stays clean even after many trips.

30°C washable Protects car seats
05 Comfort

Orthopedically padded, not just a loose cushion on the backseat.

The core consists of 100% orthopedic memory foam flakes — cushioned edges provide support and security, instead of your dog sliding around at every turn.
