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 vehicles 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.
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.
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:
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 everyones journey as safe as possible.

A.) Pet Length: measure from the tip of the nose to the rump or base of the tail, thenadd 3 inches to the measurement. The calculated length needs to be at or shorter than the Variocage’s max length.
B.) Pet Height, measure from the floor to the top of the withers (high spot on the back above the shoulders), thenadd 3 inches to the measurement. The calculated height should be at or shorter than the Variocage’s height.
*Some helpful hints when measuring your dog for an MIM Safe Variocage:
Hold the measuring tape in one hand and place the free end at the front edge of your dogs nose pulling it straight back to the base of his tail. This will give you the length measurement for your dog. You will need to add Three (3) inches to allow the dog room to turn around in theMIM Safe Variocage.
Place the tape at the top of the shoulder and measure down to the floor to get a proper height measurement. Add Three (3) inches to give the dog plenty of room if he wants to stand up.
Be sure to estimate your dogs adult size if you order his crate while he is still growing. You can check his breed standard to get an estimate of what size he will reach at maturity to make sure your crate is large enough.
Proper measuring will assure that your pet can comfortably stand, sit, turn around, and lie down in his cage. You can always add a divider panel in theMIM Safe Variocage Doubleif necessary, and reserve the remaining space until your pet grows into it.
As a general rule, if you’re not sure which size to select, choose a larger size.
Check to see if your car has a raised sill at the rear cargo entrance. If the sill is raised, you should putsomething flat under the cage so its doors can open correctly. We recommend rigid foam board insulationto minimize interference with your cars crumple zone. The floor of the cargo area should be flat.
A.) Measure the narrowest usable area across the floor of the cargo area where you would position the crate (A)(Note: The narrowest usable area is often between the rear wheel wells or at the bottom of the cargo door entrance.)
B.) Measure the usable length of the cargo floor from the back seat to the door sill (B)(Note: The front & back of the cage are angled. Total cage length is approximately 12 narrower at the top.)
C.) Measure the height from the cargo floor to the lowest point at the top of the cargo door entrance (C)(Note: Be sure to measure the shortest point which is often at the sides of the cargo entrance not in the middle.)
The MIM Variocage is suitable for use in Station Wagons, Minivans, and SUVs. The MIM Safe Variocage is also angled towards the top on both the front and the back of the dog cage and is adjustable in length so it can fit in a variety of vehicles. The slope of the front and back of the cage is approximately the same as the slope of the backseat.
The roof of the cage is shorter in length than the floor in consideration of the angle of the back seat, as well as the angle of the rear entryway door. Measuring length as indicated above and in the graphic below will provide for a proper fit in almost all suitable vehicles.
The roof of the cage is also narrower in width than the floor to allow for a proper fit in almost all suitable vehicles.
