Cars & Canines: Not always a Safe Mix
Whether it’s a once a year trip to the veterinarian or your dog travels with you everywhere and always, people all over the world are challenged with the task of keeping themselves and their animal companions safe and comfortable in the car.
With that in mind, Joe Wiesenfelder of Cars.com has launched a guide for pet owners to help them make educated decisions about the types of products and car features that are available for consumers.
Things to look for when buying a car with a hound in mind include: fold-up backseat cushions, which allow a larger area on the floor for pets to lie down; old-flat second-row seats, which open up cargo area for more pet space (already found in most wagons/SUVs/minivans); fold-flat front passenger seat, which opens up cargo area for even more pet space; and last but certainly not least, washable, stain-resistant upholstery to ensure easy cleanup after muddy walks.
The new pet guide includes information on the types of products that are available to help secure pets safely in the car and offers tips on traveling with pets. The guide also shines light on what some professionals in the pet industry drive themselves, and list car manufacturers who offer aftermarket products that cater to pet owners.
The new pet friendly car guide can be accessed through Cars.com.
