With animal safety at the forefront of their thinking and in particular dog safety, entrepreneurs Julie and Peter Maxted have launched a door gate through their business The Dog-G8 Company.
The couple went looking for a simple and cost-effective way of resolving the problem of dogs running out of open doors, seeking a product that would keep them safely behind the door – and also protect anyone coming to the door.
They looked at various types of ‘gates’ designed to try to stop this happening but felt they just didn’t deal with all the aspects of this problem – so they decided to develop their own safety gate. After many months of in-depth development and working with a Peterborough-based engineering company, the Dog-G8 was born.
“The beauty of this new product, Dog-G8, is that it fixes really neatly to the front door of a house and it is very attractive in appearance.” Said Julie.
“Dog-G8 will stop a dog running out every time the door is opened by keeping the dog safely behind a physical barrier. It also protects the caller at the door, which is really important.
“We have designed Dog-G8 to be easily removable when not required, and fully modular should you wish to extend it wider. We know we have developed a ‘game-changer’ regarding the safety of dogs and callers to any home that has a Dog-G8 fitted.”
Julie and Peter says they are also ‘very proud’ that their Dog-G8 is a totally British-made product.
