The MIM Safe Variocage Double is the largest Variocage offered and is built for two dogs, and the movable center divider is easily adjustable if one dog needs more space. This divider can be removed and the crate used for one dog. Available in 8 adjustable sizes.
Variocage MiniMax is designed with all of the safety features of the larger models, scaled down to protect smaller pets. Its bars are closer together to prevent smaller dogs and cats from escaping or poking their heads out between bars during transit. The smaller footprint also leaves considerable space for additional cargo.
The Variocage Compact is designed for use in vehicles that have a threshold (or sill) at the rear cargo door, such as hatchbacks, station wagons, minivans or similar. The Variocage Compact features a raised front door which is designed to clear the vehicle’s threshold without requiring special mounting or a platform. Its small footprint leaves considerable space for additional cargo.
The Variogate Transforms your cargo area into a safe and very practical environment for transporting pets and maximizing the space in your vehicle. When used with our Universal Cargo Barrier the Variogate will create a safe and secure containment area for your pets.
How does the MIM Safe Variocage compare to other dog cages?
The MIM Safe Variocage is made of steel with telescopic tubes and two individual parts for the floor and roof, which allows for adjustment of the cage length. This adjustable feature also benefits crash safety by working with the vehicle’s crumple zone. In a rear-end collision, the floors, ceilings and the telescopic tubes will be pushed together. This reduces the risk of injury for all vehicle passengers, dogs and humans.
The MIM Safe Variocage is the safest dog cage on the market!
MIM Safe has developed over 350 crash tested safety products for the automotive industry. All products meet the strict requirements of automotive manufacturers and European regulatory agencies for crash safety. This experience combined with a passion for safety engineering makes MIM Safe a leader in crash tested safety products.
Steel Construction– MIM Safe Variocage is made of steel. Most other cages are made of wire mesh, plastic, or aluminum and do not provide the same level of protection, durability, or strength as the MIM Safe Variocage.
Escape Hatch– MIM Safe Variocage features an emergency escape hatch allowing you to fold down your rear seats and get your dog out of the cage after a rear-end collision. In many cases, the rear hatch or door of a vehicle cannot be opened easily; this critically important feature allows you to get to your dogs, remove them from the vehicle, and tend to them after a collision.
Crumple Zone Protection– MIM Safe Variocage is the only cage designed to work with your vehicle’s crumple zone protection. The crash testing and crumple zones are critically important and help to protect both dogs and humans in the car. A rigid cage can be dangerous to both your dog and human occupants in the event of a severe impact.
Why is Pet Safety So Important?
Whether it's a quick run to the store or a cross-country trip, traveling with your pet can and should be fun but driving with a pet in a modern vehicle poses many risks, some you might not be aware of:
An unrestrained dog can be a distraction while driving, increasing your risk of having an accident
In the event of an accident, an unrestrained dog will impact whatever it hits with a force equivalent to several thousand pounds of energy
In an accident, an unrestrained dog may be ejected or escape from the vehicle, resulting in the dog getting lost, injured or killed.
Once outside, the dog can become a hazard to other drivers and is a risk of being hit by another vehicle.
After an accident, an injured dog can pose a threat to emergency responders, preventing them from helping human occupants that may be in need of assistance.
Traveling safely and responsibly with your pet is not just about reducing the risk of harm or fatal injury to your dog; it is about the safety of human occupants as well. You owe it to yourself, your passengers and your beloved pet to make everyone’s journey as safe as possible.
