If you love taking your dog or your travel-happy cat to the beach, office, and grocery store, it’s important to make your vehicle as pet-friendly as possible. Outfitting your car or truck keeps it from getting coated with pet fur and hair, or sustaining damage from odorous urine and other fluid stains. The right accessories also keep your beloved furball hydrated and safe. Use these car and truck accessories to protect your vehicle and have more fun with your four-legged family member.

5 Car & Truck Accessories For A Pet-Friendly Vehicle

1. Console Seat

Keep your small dog or cat safe in a car seat console. This soft, comfortable car and truck accessory fits perfectly in center consoles to stop your pet from wandering around. They also feature leash-like clasps that attach to your dog or cat’s harness, so they’re safely grounded if you ever need to suddenly hit the brakes.

2. Collapsible Bowl

Dehydration causes lethargy, so prevent it by carrying a portable, collapsible bowl in the glove compartment or trunk. Take it out and fill it with water whenever you stop for gas or reach your destination to help your furry family member beat the heat and keep their energy up.

3. Protective Coverings

Cover your floors and seats to keep them safe from pet hair and urine. Use quality seat covers, such as those with waterproof properties, as well as durable, weather tech floor liners. These liners cover entire sections of the floor to prevent pet stains and other debris from getting on car and truck rugs.

4. Harness

Keep a harness within reach so your pet can stretch and walk around when you park the car. A quality harness is important if your pet tends to wander or run after strangers and smaller animals.

5. Backseat Barrier

Use a backseat barrier to prevent your excited pooch from jumping in the front seat and distracting you while you drive. These accessories fit any vehicle with a backseat, and they feature windows that allow you and your pet to see each other to avoid confusion and potential howling.
