If you own a pet dog, cat or guinea pig, then you should buy them a helmet. I don't care if you ride a motor bike or not, these are just too cool to pass by.
From ZoomerGear:
Exclusively for pets! Made of high impact ABS plastic the same plastic used in construction hard hats. Designed with safety and comfort in mind, "The Helmet" can protect a pet's head from wind, windblown objects and other irritants when riding on a motorcycle, in a car, truck or boat. Excellent for blind dogs or any pet that requires protection from minor head trauma when bumping into things.
Does your dog have stand-up ears? Not to worry....."The Helmet" was designed so that it does not rest flat on the head. The customizable foam pads that are included fit between the ears, not over them. This prevents "The Helmet" from pushing the ears flat to the head.
