Car Travel With Dogs

Dogs are a joy to have with us, but they do have special needs to help them stay comfortable and us happy.

Dog Hair

Hair is the hardest item to clean off upholstery and cardoging. Trying to vacuum it up is a waste of time for the most part. The fibers weave into the cardoging and fabrics of our car, and grip.

What gets hair off the cardog and fabrics fast and easy is rubber or latex gloves. There is a product out there called the Dog Sponge, which works great too, but it is really made from the same substance. Just put on a glove, get it a little damp and run your hand across the dog hair area. Your glove will fill with dog hair, effortlessly. Rinse off, and go in for another swipe.

You might consider getting a Dog Pad for your traveling dog.

Heat

If you are traveling with a dog, get a sun shield. Seriously. I know we sell them, and this looks like a great place to put an ad, but the facts are, cars heat up way too fast, and much hotter than we realize.

From a cool just-air-conditioned state, it takes a car less than 20 minutes to reach 120 degrees sitting in the sun, even with the window 'cracked' open for fresh air. In summer times, or hot days, the interior can reach 150 degrees in the same amount of time.

Well made, reflective sun shields can reduce your car's temperature by 50 degrees. Leaving the window 'cracked' is still a good idea, but keeping the interior heat level down is much better.

Comfort

Keeping dogs comfortable and safe inside the vehicle is sometimes a creative challenge. We do have several car accessories for dogs which can help you with some of the details.

Cargo Area Travel Liner: This is full comfort. The padded liner is cushioned and slip resistant, and allows your dog full access to the cargo area of your min-van. The liner is water resistant and tear resistant. Your dog can walk around on the textured fabric without slipping and sliding. The rear of your vehicle can get warm, so the fabric is breathable to keep your dog comfortable in any season.

Seat Covers: Same idea as the cargo liner, just a smaller space. The fabric and comfort are the same, and so is the ease of cleaning and the protection provided to your interior.

Dog Barriers: These barriers limit your dogs movement, and with many dogs this is a good idea. It also adds to their safety.

With dog barriers, windows can also be let down a little more, providing cooler conditions when you have to leave your dog in the vehicle while traveling. (it is still a very good idea to also use the sun shield I talked about earlier).

Organizer: Dogs need stuff! Feeding dishes, snacks, leashes, collars, scoopers, and so much more. Dogs need a lot of stuff, and keeping it organized is a good thing when traveling with your four legged partner. Leashes get tangled and "lost" quickly. Having a place to store these required items, for easy access, allows you more fun and less hassle.
