Keep your dog cool with our new dog guard fan

As pet parents, we all love bringing our dogs along for the ride, whether it’s a countryside adventure, a beach day, or a quick trip to the park. At Travall, your dog’s safety and comfort are always our priority. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest innovation, a specially designed dog fan that attaches directly to your Travall Dog Guard or Trunk Divider, helping keep your dog cool and comfortable in the boot.

Why keeping your dog cool in the car matters

Many drivers underestimate just how quickly a car can heat up, even on what feels like a mild day.

• On a 20°C day, a car interior can reach over 35°C in just 20 minutes*
• Trunk spaces heat up faster and hold heat longer due to limited airflow
• Dogs can’t sweat like humans - they rely on air movement to cool down

While we might crack a window or turn up the air conditioning in the front, the trunk area often receives far less airflow. This creates a warm pocket of air that can quickly become uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for your dog.

The challenge of trunk travel

Travelling in the trunk is one of the safest ways for dogs to travel when paired with a secure dog guard. However, trunk areas are naturally more enclosed and can trap heat, particularly in SUVs and estates.

Without consistent air circulation:

• Heat builds up rapidly
• Warm air lingers longer
• Your dog has limited ways to regulate their body temperature

Unlike humans, dogs don’t cool themselves by sweating through their skin. Instead, they rely primarily on panting and the movement of cooler air across their body to regulate temperature. Without airflow, panting becomes far less effective.

Introducing the Travall Dog Fan

Our new dog fan has been designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with your existing Travall setup. It attaches securely to the Travall Dog Guard or Trunk Divider, directing airflow exactly where your dog needs it most.

Key Benefits

1. Improved air circulation
The fan has four speeds and actively moves air around the trunk space, preventing hot air from becoming trapped and helping to maintain a more comfortable environment.

2. Enhanced comfort all year round
Even when the front cabin feels cool, the trunk may not. Also, if you use your heaters during winter months, the trunk space can quickly heat up and become uncomfortable for your furry friend. The fan helps ensure your dog benefits from improved airflow throughout the journey.

3. Peace of mind for drivers
Knowing your dog is more comfortable allows you to focus on the road ahead without worry.

5. Seamless integration
Designed to work perfectly with Travall Dog Guards, Trunk Dividers and Tailgates, the fan maintains the secure, perfect fit you expect from Travall products.

Heat can build up faster than many of us realise. By taking proactive steps to improve airflow in your trunk space, like using the Travall Dog Guard Fan, you’re helping protect your dog from heat stress and ensuring every journey is as enjoyable as possible for them!

The Travall Dog Guard Fan is currently only available to travall.co.uk customers.
