Safe Pad For Puppies
Ford noise-cancelling kennel prototype

In time for the festive season there’ll be more gatherings and celebrations. For our furry friends at home, the noise from partying or the sound of fireworks could be nerve-racking for them, which causes distress to owners too. Ford has conceived a noise-cancelling kennel concept incorporating technology similar to that found in cars and headphones, offering a calm living pad for our best friends.

Built with high-density cork, the advanced doghouse has microphones inside for detecting noise such as fireworks. The built-in audio system then emits opposing frequencies for cancelling out the noise, or at least reducing it significantly and taking the stress away for the pet. While this noise-cancelling doghouse is just a prototype for now and there’s no solid plan for its release, this is just the very first idea under the Interventions initiatives, a series which Ford applies automotive knowledge to help solve everyday problems.
