2011 Jeep Patriot 4x4 was reviewed by Bark Buckle UP and put to the test with Betty & Princess (dogs) on city streets, highways and dirt roads.
Some minor styling changes for the front and rear, ground clearance increased, steering & suspension upgraded to help improve the handling.
Watch Video HERE:
You can double the cargo space by folding the 60/40 rears seats flat then you can fit more crates or carries, larger pets and even dogs in travel harness that tether to the d-rings.
There are 7 d-rings in the Patriot cargo area so you can secure your pets correctly to a d-ring with a tether system so pets won't become a projectile.

Peyton Manning Hamel PAWS Up 2011 Chevy Cruze

Hello, my name is Peyton Manning and while my friend Daisy Mae usually does the car reviewing, I insisted that I had to write about the 2011 Chevy Cruze because I believe it saved my life. Well, I know for sure that I wasn’t hurt in this “almost accident” thanks in large part to the restraint harness I was wearing at the time. It was purchased thanks to the recommendations of BarkBuckleUP.com.
Even though I sometimes try to eat my safety harness, I know that it is there to help keep me from becoming a flying projectile in case of an emergency like one that took place during another ordinary car ride on an otherwise ordinary day. So what happened on this day that made me such a believer in this affordable compact family sedan?
It all started when I insisted that I had to go along in the car when we were headed out to eat as a family at a Mexican Restaurant. As we were driving to dinner a man in a very large SUV didn’t see our 2011 Chevy Cruze sedan in his blind-spot and he started to pull into our lane. This error in judgment forced us into oncoming traffic on the already treacherous Pacific Coast Highway here in Southern California!
As the SUV entered our lane the quick and precise handling of the 2011 Cruze ensured that we were able to perform emergency lane change maneuvers that would have caused lesser cars to spin in circles. The surprisingly strong 1.4 liter 138 horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder also had the power to get us past the SUV before having a head on collision with oncoming traffic.
Now, I realize that the 2011 Chevy Cruze has a class leading 10 airbags, is an IIHS “Top Safety Pick” and that On-Star automatically notifies emergency responders after an accident but from my view the best accident is the one that can be avoided. I am also glad that, like my family, I was wearing my safety belt harness.

San Diego International Airport launches the National tour of Pet Travel Safety Tips
SAN DIEGO – “Pet Safety Lady” Christina Selter of Bark Buckle UP partnered with the San Diego International Airport and the Transportation Security Administration Thursday, in the first segment of a multi-city tour to highlight pet safety and travel tips.
“Our goal is to help passengers prepare for a stress-free travel experience with pets,” said Selter. “We have seen a 300% increase in pet travel since 2005 and a large number of those animals are traveling by air.”
San Diego International Airport boasts two dedicated Pet Relief Areas for passengers traveling with small animals and intends to add three additional relief areas in the coming years. The San Diego Airport Authority requires pets, with the exception of service animals, to be crated for air travel. San Diego’s newest pet relief features an ADA accessible fresh water dispenser; clean up bags and a trashcan.
“At the security checkpoint, TSA will need to screen your pet, but never put a
n animal through the X-ray machine,” explained Selter. “You’re animal could undergo a secondary screening, but carry the animal through the metal detector.”
Typically, only animals weighing 20 pounds or less (with the carrier) are permitted in the cabin, and must have a ticket to ride under the seat in front of you. “Each airline is different, so it’s always best to call your carrier,” she said. There are no fees for service animals traveling in the cabin with proper ID but the to carry on your pet in cabin, will vary depending on the airline.
When sending your pet as cargo, a reservation is required and traveling animals must be at least eight weeks old and healthy with current shots and Rabies vaccinations. “A health certificate from your pet’s veterinarian and dated within ten days of travel are often required check with your airline,” she said. “For fees, drop off locations and specific temperature limitations, it’s always best to call your airline, as rules change with each carrier.”
The key to stress-free travel with your pet, is practice, practice, practice,” Selter says. “Take your pet to the airport and get him familiar with the sounds and smells.”
